Description

FRED is an all-encompassing software solution designed to model the behavior of light in optomechanical systems through ray tracing techniques. It accommodates both coherent and incoherent light paths and enables users to apply realistic surface characteristics to each system component. Among its notable features are the rapid and precise simulation of a variety of light sources, including lasers, arc lamps, LEDs, ideal emitters, bulbs, and custom ray sets defined by users. The software also includes sophisticated geometry handling, scattering capabilities, optimization tools, scripting options, and graphical utilities, allowing for meticulous control over ray tracing parameters during the simulations. Additionally, it offers extensive post-tracing analysis tools and reports, facilitates real-time visualization and modification of intricate optical and mechanical configurations, and boasts high extensibility through user-generated scripts. Ultimately, FRED serves as a fundamental resource for the effective propagation of light within optomechanical frameworks, making it invaluable for researchers and engineers in the field.

Description

Hektar is an innovative cloud-based software designed for generative design, specifically aimed at assisting with early-stage urban planning, pre-design, and schematic design tasks. Created by Parametric, it empowers architects and urban planners to improve their projects by effectively managing the complexities involved in critical design phases. By leveraging evolutionary algorithms and artificial generative intelligence, the platform transforms user inputs from broad concepts into detailed, viable designs and accurate estimates. Hektar’s suite of tools incorporates both geometrical and geographical intelligence, enabling users to specify essential features like access points, exclusions for construction, and custom street layouts. Furthermore, it offers numerical controls, allowing for precise adjustments related to project elements such as building depth, greenery integration, and parking arrangements. The software begins processing intricate information about lighting and sun exposure early in the geometry pipeline, leading to the creation of informed design proposals that can adapt to various scenarios. In this way, Hektar not only enhances the design process but also fosters collaboration among multiple stakeholders involved in urban development projects.
