Description
LightTools is an all-encompassing 3D software designed for optical engineering and design that facilitates virtual prototyping, simulation, optimization, and the creation of photorealistic renderings in illumination applications. By allowing users to swiftly develop illumination designs that function effectively on the first attempt, it minimizes the number of prototype iterations needed and speeds up the time it takes to bring products to market. Among its notable features are advanced solid modeling capabilities with complete optical precision, exceptional ray tracing performance that allows users to control accuracy and resolution, as well as the option to generate light sources from any geometric configuration, providing unparalleled flexibility. The software also includes specialized tools tailored for specific applications, enabling users to efficiently construct comprehensive models, along with an extensive library of sources and materials that encompasses LEDs and BSDF measurements. Furthermore, it boasts strong data exchange capabilities for mechanical CAD information and maintains an interactive, dynamic connection with SOLIDWORKS, enhancing user experience. Additionally, LightTools offers a variety of licensing options for its multiple modules, ensuring that users can select configurations that best suit their unique requirements.
Description
RayViz is an add-in for SOLIDWORKS created by Lambda Research Corporation that allows users to integrate and save optical properties seamlessly within the SOLIDWORKS CAD interface. This feature enables users to assign optical traits from the TracePro property database, ensuring that these properties are embedded within the SOLIDWORKS model itself. Users have the capability to define light sources and execute ray tracing directly in SOLIDWORKS, which aids in visualizing light rays and their trajectories, thereby supporting tasks like verifying beam paths, spotting vignetting caused by mechanical elements, and detecting light leakage in light guides. Additionally, RayViz comes equipped with catalogs of LED sources and those featuring Gaussian and Lambertian beam profiles. A notable benefit of using RayViz is its functionality to save SOLIDWORKS models in the TracePro file format, which allows for thorough optical analysis within TracePro. Moreover, should any changes be made to the SOLIDWORKS model, users can easily synchronize these updates using the "update from RayViz" feature in TracePro, enhancing workflow efficiency. This integration ultimately streamlines the design process for optical engineers by combining powerful tools in a unified platform.
