OPTIS: OptisWorks

Light simulation comes to the CAD/CAM/CAE world…

Based on more than 100 man-years of R&D, OptisWorks can be used in various engineering activities like transport, electronics, lighting and optics to design any object containing or using light, such as light guides, indoor/outdoor lighting, headlamps, backlights, … and now offers optimized opto-mechanical design and laser propagation simulation.

…for all users…

OptisWorks™ enables users, mechanical designers, project leaders, optical engineers… to analyze the effect of light – light levels, distribution, photometric performance, colorimetry analysis, compliance with standards - directly within their SolidWorks parts and assemblies.

All features fully communicate with SolidWorks, and allow the users to quickly check many “what if” configurations in order to better understand and optimize their product. Study the tolerancing of your optical and light systems with Multi-configuration capabilities of SolidWorks

…with an easy yet accurate light definition and simulation kernel…

OptisWorks comes with a very intuitive material editor and a comprehensive set of libraries of optically measured materials, “ready to apply” to any SolidWorks model.

All parts are then physically defined for a very accurate and realistic simulation of the light's propagation.

…to benefit the whole SolidWorks Community !

Now you can handle both optics and mechanical issues to improve your product. The interactivity obtained from the perfect integration allows a better understanding of optical effects in any system (significant parameters, tolerancing, sensitivity studies…)

OPTIS serves thousands of customers around the world, including Texas Instrument, 3M, Visteon, Guardian, Ericsson, Sony, Honda, Nikon, NASA, Bosch/Siemens, Philips, Porsche, Valeo, …
