Frads Matrix class simply encapsulate the components | ||
necessary to generate a matrix, such as ray sender and | ||
receiver. The matrix data is by default store as numpy | ||
array in memory for later access. | ||

# Why use frads | ||
|
||
Matrix algebraic methods reduce the time needed to perform accurate, | ||
ray-tracing based, annual daylight simulations by several orders of | ||
magnitude. A good deal of expertise is needed to set up the simulations | ||
properly to achieve the desired level of accuracy. | ||
frads provides users with tools (e.g., `mrad`) that automatically | ||
determine which matrix-based method to use then sets the associated | ||
simulation parameters, helping beginners learn the different matrix | ||
methods by observing the tools’ behavior. The user is still required | ||
to understand basic concepts underlying matrix-based simulation methods | ||
(see [tutorials](https://www.radiance-online.org/learning/tutorials)). | ||
|
||
Matrix-based methods also enable accurate, ray-tracing generated, | ||
irradiance, illuminance, and luminance data to be available for | ||
run-time data exchange and co-simulations. frads provides users with | ||
tools that generate the appropriate Radiance-generated | ||
data then interfaces with the “actuator” EMS module in EnergyPlus or | ||
within the Spawn-of-EnergyPlus and Modelica co-simulation environment. | ||
This enables end users to evaluate the performance of buildings with | ||
manual- and automatically-controlled shading and daylighting systems | ||
or other site and building features that can change parametrically | ||
or on a time-step basis. |
