Inquiry about Dragonfly Plugin for Material Simulation

I am conducting research on the impact of a new material on a neighborhood’s environment. I am particularly interested in using the Dragonfly plugin to investigate its effects on air temperature and lighting conditions.

However, I have encountered a challenge. The material I am studying has unique properties – it behaves somewhat like a light source with characteristics that change over time. I am unsure if Dragonfly or other plugin related is capable of simulating such a material and its impact on the surrounding environment.

Can Dragonfly simulate materials with time-varying light source properties?
If not, are there alternative plugins or software you would recommend for my research?
