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.

Description

SOLIDWORKS PCB streamlines the process of designing Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) efficiently while fostering exceptional collaboration between electrical engineers and 3D mechanical design teams. This integration provides a significant benefit in scenarios where close ECAD-MCAD cooperation is vital for the successful development of electronic products. Users can define rigid-flex areas, layers, and stack thicknesses, facilitating the design of single board rigid-flex PCBs. Additionally, the regions of the rigid-flex layer stack can be specified with bend lines and angles, which can then be validated through 3D folding and component clearance checks to ensure the accuracy of the layout. Project management, design files, and documentation are seamlessly handled with the SOLIDWORKS PCB-PDM Connector, which enhances the PDM-based design and data management workflow. This system securely stores and organizes design data for quick access, alleviates worries related to version control and potential data loss, and allows for collaborative work on design data from various locations. The unmatched integration and collaboration between ECAD and MCAD offered by SOLIDWORKS ensures that all design data is unified, promoting efficiency and innovation in the product development process. This powerful synergy ultimately leads to improved product quality and faster time-to-market.
