Plasma facing components (PFC) of fusion reactors are exposed to high thermal loads. These are due, among other things, to the thermal radiation of the plasma. Using the ray tracing method, we can predict thermal loads. The aim of this master’s thesis is to create a module that allows the user of the SMITER environment to make a study using the ray tracing method. Graphical user environment guides the user from setting up the scene and setting up the analysis to running the study and getting the results. The environment is verified with analytical examples and on real cases using commercial tools.
