![Radar Explorer Toolkit logo](/sites/default/files/2026-06/splash_icon.jpg) # Radar Explorer Toolkit0.3.0 Supported Ansys versions:- 2025 R2, - 2026 R1 Required Product:- AEDT The Radar Explorer Toolkit integrates with AEDT to streamline the full lifecycle of radar cross section simulations, from geometry import through solver setup to interactive postprocessing all within a single graphical interface. Free [Download](/app/ansys-inc/radar-explorer-toolkit/0-3-0/download-app) ## App Description The toolkit guides users through a complete radar simulation workflow: **Geometry import**: Load 3D models in STL, OBJ, GLTF, or GLB formats directly into HFSS and the built-in 3D plotter. **Radar configuration**: Define the incident wave direction using Euler (ZYZ) angles and select the simulation mode (Range Profile, 2D ISAR, or 3D ISAR). **Solver setup**: Configure SBR+ solver parameters such as ray density, number of bounces, CPU cores, PTD/UTD corrections, and interactive/non-graphical execution. **3D postprocessing**: Visualize RCS, range profiles, waterfall diagrams, 2D ISAR, and 3D ISAR results in an interactive 3D viewer powered by PyVista. **2D postprocessing**: Generate and customize 2D plots for RCS, range profiles, waterfall, and ISAR data, with support for multiple plots per tab. **File mode**: Reload previous simulation results from exported analysis setup files without reconnecting to AEDT. ## Key Benefits **End-to-end workflow**: Covers the full pipeline from CAD import to final postprocessed plots in a single unified interface. **No scripting required**: All simulation and postprocessing operations are accessible through a guided graphical UI. **HFSS SBR+ accuracy**: Leverages Ansys's proven shooting-and-bouncing-rays solver for high-frequency electromagnetic accuracy on electrically large targets. **Flexible postprocessing**: Supports both 2D and 3D visualization with customizable colormaps, opacity, and projection settings. **Reusability**: Export and reload analysis setup files to resume or share work without re-running simulations. **Open source**: Licensed under Apache 2.0 and distributed through the PyAnsys ecosystem for community contributions and extensibility. ## Use Cases **RCS analysis**: Compute and visualize the Radar Cross-Section of military or commercial targets (vehicles, aircraft, ships) across angular sweeps. **ISAR imaging**: Generate 2D and 3D inverse synthetic aperture radar images of moving or rotating targets for target recognition research. **Range profile characterization**: Identify dominant scattering centers along the radar line of sight for signature analysis. **Waterfall diagrams**: Analyze how the radar return evolves over time or aspect angle for dynamic target scenarios. **Design comparison**: Duplicate and modify solved HFSS SBR+ designs to compare the radar signature before and after geometry or material changes. **Offline analysis**: Post-process previously computed results in file mode, independently of an active AEDT session. ## Images ![Radar geometry input](/sites/default/files/2026-06/screent4.png) ![Radar ISAR](/sites/default/files/2026-06/screent5.png) ## Latest version Radar Explorer Toolkit 0.3.0 Supported Ansys versions: 2025 R2, 2026 R1 [Download](/app/ansys-inc/radar-explorer-toolkit/0-3-0/download-app) Go to top Publisher![Publisher logo](/sites/default/files/%5Bdate%3Acustom%3AY%5D-%5Bdate%3Acustom%3Am%5D/ansys-part-of-synopsys-logos-full-color-rgb.jpg) Ansys Inc Support information Southpointe 2600 Ansys Drive, Cannonsburg, PA USA 724-746-3304
