After verifying the model a special simulation model enables the user to trace hundreds to millions of rays to simulate the emission of light sources at varying wavelengths. The program propagates these rays through the system, reflecting, refracting, absorbing and scattering at each surface creating an accurate 3D virtual photometric environment. Calculations using verified sources propagate rays through system geometry and surface materials to define precise energy maps. Multiple energy distribution maps are possible from transparent 2D planes positioned anywhere in 3D space. Simulated projects results in extremely accurate and fast simulation due to 3D solid geometry and source modelling.
Solid objects trace faster than surface programs due to fewer object intersection calculations.
Results are given in false color 2D profiles or 3D plots to view output information in an easy to understand format. The results can also be exported as a numerical format file that you can analyse with other tools. The program's unique merging of two technologies, mechanical and optical design, creates a 3D virtual interactive design tool. Software simulation is the perfect tool to create better designs, shortening product time to market and eliminating costly multiple prototyping time and materials. Your product will be right first time.
