I need a script in matlab for read the map from Tonatiuh of the flux
distribution LS3 collector of the tube or Glass cover.

I would like to know if with program options, could I impose an DNI of
900 w / m ^ 2 or 800 w / m ^ 2 of the flux distribution LS3?

Hello David,
 
You can change the DNI of your simulation if you click on Environment->SunLight-> Define Sun Light. Here you can select between two types of sun. Both have a parameter called irradiance. You can change it in order to get your desired value.
 
I attach a script to read Tonatiuh data using MatLab. It reads the data an gets the flux in a flat dish. You should change it to read you own surfaces.
 
Best regards,
Sergio

Hi Mr  Sergio
Could you help me to elaborate a script in Matlab to read my results from Tonatiuh?
I'm working on a trapezoidal receiver with 4 cylinders inside.
Thank you in advance for your help.
