lucernhammer 1.6 Executable Licensing

The 1.6 release of lucernhammer is now available. The suite contains binary executables of lucernhammer MT 1.6, Serenity 1.2 and Galaxy 1.0 for 32-bit Windows and x86 Linux. Linux and Windows binaries are compiled for various Intel Pentium architectures using the Intel C compiler for maximum performance. Solver source codes are also supplied to allow the end user to recompile on additional platforms.

The software is licensed on a per-workstation basis. The purchase of a seat comes with an automatic one-year maintenance contract. This contract provides upgrades to newest versions of all software codes, installation and technical support. This maintenance contract may be renewed annually for each seat, and customers may renew a maintenance contract at any time. The codes are not software or hardware locked, and they do not expire.

The cost per seat is:

# Cost
1-10$500
11-20$425
21+$400
unlimited$email us

In this structure, licensing/maintenance for the first 1-10 seats is $500, seats 11-20 at $425 each, and $400 for each seat numbered 21+. Organizations that have a number of current seats under maintenance can buy additional seats and take advantage of the discount at any time. Seats are considered to be "floating" and may be moved between dedicated systems at the user's discretion.

The user will be supplied with a disc containing the binary executables, source codes, and PDF documentation.

lucernhammer 1.6 is available to United States defense contractors, government agencies, and educational institutions only. Contractors will be required to submit to Tripoint Industries, Inc. your organization's Militarily Critical Data Agreement (Form DD2345), certifying that you may possess export-controlled software. Government agencies are required to supply the appropriate credentials and proof of US citizenship for the designated end-users. Universities that have the appropriate US government contracts and sponsors may also obtain the code. If you are a foreign national or you do not meet these qualifications, be advised there are absolutely no exceptions and we will not answer your inquiries.

Email us with questions or to inquire about purchasing.

End-User Support and Assistance

Customers that require guidance and assistance for a user beyond the limited installation and code technical support that comes with a maintenance contract may purchase an end-user support and assistance contract. Under this contract, Tripoint Industries will work with the customer's designated end-user with all questions regarding electromagnetics, working with the codes, assistance with end-user source code modifications, geometry inputs and code outputs, and all other questions. The End-User Support and Assistance contract is a one-year, renewable contract and is priced at $10,000 per-end user. Contact us for more information.

lucernhammer 1.6 evaluation

Qualified organizations (see above) are welcome to a free 30 day evaluation copy of the lucernhammer suite. This evaluation will include program executables and documentation only, not source codes. These binaries will not be altered in any fashion, and will represent the actual product you would purchase from us if you decide to buy. You will still be required to submit the appropriate credentials for your organization, regardless of whether you later purchase the suite.

lucernhammer technology licensing

The core technology inside lucernhammer MT, Serenity and Galaxy is also available through the Tripoint Industries technology licensing program. These source codes may be obtained for in-house computational electromagnetics code development or research, or for use in commerical softwares (subject to certain restrictions). These codes are mature, production-level products, having recieved thousands of hours of testing and validation in real-world applications.

lucernhammer MT scontains the following core technologies:

  • High-performance BSP-based triangle ray tracer
  • Automatic triangle mesh edge finding algorithms
  • Highly optimized Physical Optics scattering algorithms, ray-tracer blockage check and Z-Buffer based
  • Physical Theory of Diffraction scattering, ray-tracer blockage check
  • Shooting and Bouncing Ray scattering algorithms
  • Material coating support in all scattering algorithms
  • Surface-Based Incremental Length Diffraction Coefficient (ILDC) support
  • 100% ANSI C with pthread-based parallelization throughout
  • Highly structured, modular code organization

    lucernhammer MT technology is ideal for for in-house scattering analysis, antenna placement, and wave propagation in urban-environments.

    Serenity contains the following core technologies:

  • Three-dimensional Method of Moments solver code
  • EFIE and MFIE integral equations
  • Full-Matrix solver using GE and Conjugate Gradient
  • High-Performance Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm (MLFMA) engine
  • 100% ANSI C with pthread-based parallelization throughout
  • Highly structured, modular code organization

    Serenity technology is ideal for antenna placement analysis in simulations with large, complicated target shapes. The end-user only need add their own excitation function(s) to obtain the radiated far fields.

    Please contact Tripoint Industries, Inc. for information regarding technology licensing.
