Radiation Shielding Evaluation Toolset (RADSET) is a computer program that rapidly calculates the spatial distribution of mass of an arbitrary structure for use in ray-tracing analysis of the radiation-shielding properties of the structure. RADSET was written to be used in conjunction with unmodified commercial computer-aided design (CAD) software that provides access to data on the structure and generates selected three-dimensional-appearing views of the structure. RADSET obtains raw geometric, material, and mass data on the structure from the CAD software.

This program was written by Edward Zapp of Lockheed Martin Corp. for Johnson Space Center.

This Brief includes a Technical Support Package (TSP).

Rapid Analysis of Mass Distribution of Radiation Shielding (reference MSC-23935) is currently available for download from the TSP library.
