This radiation occurs when charged particles move close to a target. There are also several DR calculation methods which were developed in the past. However, until now there are no codes for DR simulation from different type of targets. All researches have to develop their own numerical codes or have to use the analytical formulas which are obtained only for the small number of targets with approximations of infinity dimensions and far field zone. In this report we present the code for calculation of DR characteristics from metal targets with finite dimensions and finite distance to detector. The calculation approach in this code is based on the generalized surface current method. Above method is suitable for the targets with the ideal conductivity (metal target case) and applicable for diffraction and transition radiation (TR), for charged particles with arbitrary energies and incidence angles to the target, for wavelengths from optics to mm range. Finally, code can be used to calculate DR and TR characteristics for new beam diagnostics methods and radiation sources development.
