Flux analysis on spherical surfaces, parabolas, etc can also be now performed using the Flux Analysis tool. Figures below show such an example related to the flux distribution on the surface of a sphere in an unwrapped form in which u is the azimuthal angle in radians, and v is the elevation angle in radians. The figures show the flux distribution for different sun position

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 spherical surfaces.
