It meant that you spent a lot of time doing repetitive tasks and adjusting optical elements. If you consider a 100-pillow tail-lamp, without the automatic optical feature, you needed to design each pillow one after one. Firstly, automatic “optical features” bring high value to the design product process. Many benefits come with these unique SPEOS Technology capabilities. It is also possible to easily modify the kind of bulbs and lenses to look at multiple "what-if" scenarios. Moreover, exterior conditions such as night, day and weather can be included in the simulation to increase the level of realism. All the small optical pillows of the tail-lamp (see below) have been very easily designed and optimized thanks to these very innovative tools. In this way lit appearance of a tail-lamp for instance can be obtained very rapidly with a high level of realism.Īs a final result, a tail lamp can be simulated to give both lit and unlit appearance. This drastically reduces the calculation time. Moreover calculations can now be launched on a PC cluster. Then the analysis of the light propagation in the system and the photo-realism simulation taking into account human vision properties (SPEOS Visual Ergonomics) can be done from the optimized design. In this way, photometric simulations (SPEOS Light Modeling – photometry) can be performed very rapidly. Thus, optical knowledge is encapsulated in this optical feature and can be applied to complex system design. Position and orientation will automatically follow the propagation rules the designer sets. The optical feature used by SPEOS CAA V5 Based will drive, in only one run, the generation of these 100 pillows taking into account all the optical requirements. The software is able to generate and to automatically position a set of optics.įor instance a car tail-lamp is made of more than 100 optical pillows. It is possible to automatically generate optical shapes (parabola, conics…) and to create assemblies made of several optical elements. Moreover new developments allow designers to improve the optics parts of a system using very efficient tools. Thus opto-mechanics can be optimized at the same time. Thanks to the fact that the software is integrated in CATIA V5, optics and mechanics can be treated together. Here the optimisation of a car tail-lamp design clearly illustrates the advantages of these new SPEOS technology tools. After having being the first to include the lit appearance in its simulation process and to integrate CAD software, OPTIS has now added the possibility of optimizing design through the use of several very innovative tools. Toulon, France – OPTIS, the world leading 3D lighting technology provider announces for 2006 some major new product capabilities.
