New Features in LightTools 7.2
LightTools 7.2 contains many useful enhancements. Some key new features include:
Enhanced charting that has a new look and many additional features to customize illumination simulation results to meet personal, company, or industry standards. For example, you can rotate and zoom 3D charts, change fonts and colors, and make many other customizations as needed. View the video
Expanded beam statistics provide access to beam and field width information for analysis and optimization. These statistics are useful for determining the angular or spatial spread of a beam pattern. View the video
With the new CAD file element, LightTools entities can be associated with an externally created CAD file, so that you can update geometry with a click of a button without losing optical properties, names, or relations with other elements of the LightTools model. View the video
3D compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) and CPC reflectors are now available as native elements in LightTools. The CPC objects are useful for improving the efficiency of luminaire and solar concentrator designs. View the video
