Video Tutorial of CRad

In the first tutorial, you will learn how to estimate the SEU rate of a memory chip in a satellite, in the following steps:

  • Defining the orbit of the satellite;
  • Selecting the radiation environment models appropriate for this orbit;
  • Setting the radiation shielding layers covering the device;
  • Calculating the SEU rate of the memory chip using the simple IRPP model;

In the second tutorial, you will learn how to estimate the total ionizing dose (TID) a device is exposed to during the entire mission. This differs from the SEU calculation in the following steps:

  • Selecting the statistical fluence model of solar energetic protons;
  • Calculating the dose-depth curve into the shielding material;
