solar flux distribution calculation was created by ahmadmumtaz
Hello,

I am new to SAM, in fact, it's my first day. My research is related to external solar power towers.I need to calculate "solar flux distribution" on a flat receiver surface (similar to Ivanpah tower). A heliostat arrangement similar to Ivanpah 1 power plant can be used. how can I obtain solar flux distribution using SAM?
