The executable of the ray tracing backend is named rt-solver
and
can be called in any terminal with the conda environment for nemaktis
activated.
rt-solver
relies on json-like configuration file, so you don’t have
to touch to any C++ code if you just want to use the method. To generate
a default configuration file, run:
All parameters in this configuration file are fully documented, so you

).
Once you are satisfied with the change you made to your configuration file, you can actually run the code by typing:
