3D Radiation Analysis and Design Software

The industry leading software suitefor space systems radiation effects, now and since 1981.

By EMPCThomas M. Jordan, President

MAJOR CAPABILITIES

Calculates radiation effects on complex CAD/CSG geometry models of space systems (1)

Fully addresses total dose, damage, charging, and single particleand single particle and other radiation effects from the Van Allen Belts, solar particle events, galactic cosmic rays and on-board nuclear sources

Interfaces under license with MCNP (Los Alamos National Laboratory), GEANT4, ITS3/ACCEPT (Sandia National Laboratory) CEPXS/1LD, and with SPENVIS

Calculates weight-optimized shielding as STL files for 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing

NOVICE’S PLACE IN THE INDUSTRY

The NOVICE software suite is, andhas been for decades, a mission-criticalpart of satellite and deep spaceprobe programs.

Representative clients include NASA, ESA, U.S. Representative clients include NASA, ESA, U.S. national laboratories, and virtually every major aerospace company.

The NOVICE User Interface is the only interface validated, licensed, or approved by EMPC.

NOVICE continues to innovate additional capabilities, keeping it on the cutting edge!

The leading mission- and science instrument-validated software for performingrigorous forward and Adjoint Monte Carlo calculations

The only Adjoint Monte Carlo capabilities for both neutral and charged particles, including flux-at-a-point calculations in the continuous energy context

ABOUT EMPC

Founded in 1972 by Thomas Jordan, EMPC is Founded in 1972 by Thomas Jordan, EMPC is the leader in requirements-driven solutions for radiation effects on space systems. Through consultation and licensing the NOVICE code, EMPC provides its clients industry leading software, experience, and expertise.

EMPC has been a key partner in many signature EMPC has been a key partner in many signature research and commercial satellite programs, from the Voyager probes to today's GPS technology, communications satellite networks, and the search for extrasolar planets.

EMPC HAS BECOME AWARE OF AT LEAST ONE OTHER ENTITY CLAIMING, AMONG OTHER THINGS:

a. Interoperability with NOVICE. EMPC expressly disclaims a. Interoperability with NOVICE. EMPC expressly disclaims

any accuracy as to any such statements. No entity making

such claims is, or has ever been, a licensee of NOVICE or any

other EMPC product. No entity making such claims has

communicated with EMPC about such claims, nor received

EMPC's permission to make such claims.

b. That such entity is purportedly "the only radiation b. That such entity is purportedly "the only radiation

engineering solution that ... saves time by optimizing the

shielding design" and "that [s]aves time by directly using

CAD models." EMPC contends that its long-standing,

industry standard NOVICE software demonstrably

contradicts any such claims.

(2) Users of other radiation software report difficulties in performing

analysis with 200 - 500 objects. NOVICE has been proven for decades

to perform analysis on multiple large CAD files, in excess of 60,000

objects, with ease.
