Flux analysis on cylindrical surfaces can be now performed using the Flux Analysis tool. Figure 1 shows such an example related to the flux distribution on the surface of the cylindrical receiver in an unwrapped form in which u is the angle in radians, and v is the height meters.

The above example is included in the examples folder of the Tonatiuh++ installation directory. A how to video in shown below on how to perform flux analysis on cylindrical surfaces.
