UTD Ray Contributions

A number of optional ray contribution parameters are available when using faceted UTD to solve a face or faces.

Faceted UTD

Direct field: This option takes into account the direct rays.
Edge and wedge diffraction: This option takes into account the diffraction on edges and wedges.
Surface reflection: This option takes into account the rays reflected by the planar and curved surface.
Creeping waves: This option takes into account the creeping waves on curved surfaces.

Direct and reflected: This option takes into account both the direct rays and reflected rays.
Double diffraction: This option takes into account the double diffraction on edges and wedges and the combinations of reflections. Single diffraction rays are not included for this option.
Edge and wedge diffractions: This option takes into account the diffraction on edges and wedges. The ray may include an arbitrary number of reflections, but only one diffraction.
Note: The total number of interactions (number of reflections plus one) for the diffraction may not be larger than the value specified in the Maximum number of UTD ray interactions field.
Creeping waves: This option takes into account the creeping waves on a cylinder.
Corner diffraction: This option takes into account the corner diffraction.
Cone tip diffraction: This option takes into account the diffraction at the tip of the cone.
