BRO offers
a variety of software classes to enable you to
efficiently and accurately solve your optical
challenges using the Advanced Systems Analysis Program
(ASAP®) by BRO. At all classes, BRO provides each
participant with a computer running the latest version
of ASAP (and ReflectorCAD®, if appropriate). All of
our classes receive high marks in terms of both
technical content and the hospitality shown to
students. Classes are a mix of lecture and hands-on
sessions. Enrollment for all classes is limited to
ensure individual instruction.
Tutorials will be taught by Dr. Mary Turner, an
accomplished optical designer. Mary has consulted on
the design and tolerance analysis of several optical
systems, covering a broad range of imaging and
non-imaging optical systems. At BRO she assists
customers with the purchasing process, explains
features of ASAP™ and answers technical questions. She
holds a Ph.D from the University of Arizona's Optical
Sciences Center. |

| Introduction to ASAP Tutorial (November 16-18, 2009,
Location Bangalore) |
This introductory tutorial instructs ASAP users on
approaches to solving pre-defined imaging and illumination
problems. Designed to acquaint the new user with the full
list of ASAP features leading to a basic competency, the
tutorial is a balance of hands-on exercises,
demonstrations and lectures. By guiding you through some
straightforward examples (imaging and non-imaging
systems), you learn both fundamental ASAP capabilities and
methods and procedures for solving the most common types
of optical problems. Toward the end of the tutorial,
several advanced simulation and analysis concepts such as
ray splitting and ray scattering are introduced.
Familiarity with geometric and optical concepts is helpful
but not required.
This Introductory Tutorial is a three-day course limited
to 16 participants and will be on a first-come-first-serve
basis.

Advanced ASAP Tutorial on Automotive Lighting (November 19
– 21, 2009, Location Bangalore)
|
BRO's Automotive Lighting Illumination Modeling tutorial
concentrates on the application of BRO's ASAP Optical
Software package to the development of automotive
illumination systems. The tutorial gives participants the
knowledge and skills needed to model the optical
performance of automotive illumination systems that will
most benefit their particular workflow. Participants will
gain hands-on experience applying ASAP to different
problems in automotive illumination through a series of
practice sessions.
Course Overview
Basic knowledge about automotive lighting is not needed
but is helpful. The course covers the simulation and
analysis of automotive illumination systems based on the
ASAP software program. Primary emphasis is placed on
exterior lighting systems, however interior applications
will also be discussed, including lightpipe designs. A
brief introduction to the terminology, regulations, and
underlying physics for automotive illumination is given.
The class addresses how best to use ASAP in each step of
the automotive lighting design process, including
feasibility, initial design, final design, tolerancing,
and troubleshooting. Examples of actual lamp designs
executed by BRO engineers are shown. Applications of
sources from traditional incandescent to LED and HID
sources are discussed. Additionally, as many automotive
lighting users rely on internally developed programs to
design their lighting systems, the tutorial covers the use
of VBscript within ASAP to enhance the interaction between
ASAP and external programs, as well as use of ASAP in
batch mode.
Prerequisites*
- Completion of BRO's Introductory ASAP Tutorial or
equivalent knowledge and experience
- Familiarity with a CAD package
This Advanced Tutorial is a three-day course limited
to 16 participants and will be on a first-come-first-serve
basis.
