Simulator for Radiometry:Radiosity/Radiant Flux density?

[RedneckPhysics]

Hey All,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good simulation software packages that can do quantitative radiometry. I'm thinking COMSOL may have a radiometry suite, but I'm not very familiar with the software or package offerings.

Basically, I'm trying to optimize the placement of hundreds of LEDs within a cylindrical container, such that I can get a nearly constant irradiance over an object placed in the center of the chamber.

Thanks so much!

Mike

I don't know any software, but you might try flexible LED's like the following: http://cooledgelighting.com/portfolio.php
