Lighttools 2022

LightTools is a complete optical design and analysis software product featuring virtual prototyping, simulation, optimization, and photorealistic renderings (including source-lit renderings) of illumination applications. LightTools facilitates innovative designs for a broad range of solid-state lighting applications, including interior and exterior vehicle lighting, fiber light engines, complex light guides, projection systems, machine vision systems, solar collection systems, and more. LightTools combines full optical accuracy, powerful optical and illumination analysis features, and an intuitive, interactive graphical user interface in a 3D solid modeling environment. Real models, “sculpted” in software, interact with rays simulating the light to produce virtual prototypes of manufacturable systems.

Key Features

  • Sophisticated solid modeling with full optical accuracy
  • State-of-the-art ray tracing speed, with full user control of accuracy and resolution requirements
  • Create a light source from any geometric model, for unlimited flexibility to create custom sources
  • Application-specific utilities to help you quickly build a complete model
  • Extensive source and materials libraries, including LEDs and BSDF measurements
  • Robust data exchange support for mechanical CAD data
  • Interactive, dynamic link with SOLIDWORKS
  • Multiple immersion for modeling the embedded phosphor in an encapsulated LED
  • Full integration with LightTools 3D solid modeling ensures that the optimizer delivers practical, realistic solutions that yield the best possible system performance, in a fraction of the time it would take to accomplish manually
  • Backlight Pattern Optimization for automatic design of backlight extraction patterns for LCDs, cell phone key pads, and automotive instrument clusters
  • LightTools’ interactive user interface is easy to learn and includes many features to boost your productivity as you create and modify illumination system elements.
  • Angular and spatial luminance analysis
  • Simulations of real-world conditions, including surface effects like polarization, scatter, reflection, refraction, and the performance of thin film coatings. Material effects such as dispersion, volumetric absorption, volume scattering, and color filtering can also be included.
  • Fast and robust forward and backward Monte Carlo ray tracing
  • Get accurate, fast predictions of your illumination system’s color performance.
  • High-fidelity transfer of models from CODE V for illumination, ghost image, and stray light analysis
