Abstract

We present a new 3D continuum radiative transfer code, MCFOST, based on a Monte-Carlo method. The reliability and efficiencyof the code is tested by comparison with five different radiative transfer codespreviously tested by Pascucci et al. (2004), using a 2D diskconfiguration. When tested against the same disk configuration,no significant difference is found between the temperature and SEDcalculated with MCFOST and with the other codes. Thecomputed values are well within the range of values computed by theother codes. The code-to-code differences are small, they rarelyexceed 10% and are usually much smaller.
