Light and Building

Visit Synopsys' Optical Solutions Group, Light Tec, and OEC at Light + Building 2012 in Frankfurt, Germany, where we'll showcase innovative solutions in LightTools to your LED and general lighting design challenges.

LightTools is an illumination design environment that integrates 3D CAD, optical modeling, and an interactive user interface to simplify the design of illumination applications, including LED die packaging and LED-driven illumination systems. Talk with our representatives at Hall 4.1, Stand K40 about how to capitalize on LightTools' latest enhancements to further improve your design productivity.

LightTools' charting has been updated with a new look and many additional features that allow you to fully customize charts to meet personal, company, or industry standards.

Expanded beam statistics provide lighting designers with access to beam and field width information for analysis and optimization.

CAD file elements allow you to associate LightTools entities with an externally created CAD file, so you can update geometry on demand without losing optical properties and other parameters. CATIA, IGES, SAT, and STEP formats are accepted.

Generate photometric reports in standardized IES formats. IES Indoor, Flood, and Road Report types are all supported.

Visualize illuminance in the 3D Design view on any dummy plane surface in order to quickly understand the shape and orientation of the distribution relative to the model geometry.

Compute and optimize color differences on any spatial or angular mesh. This analysis is useful for producing an even color distribution, such as for LED based luminaires.

Calculate color rendering index (CRI) on any
receiver – ideal for LED and luminaire design.
