Design and analyze imaging and illumination systems with
CAD interoperability |
ASAP® is powered by the ASAP non-sequential ray-tracing
engine - known throughout the optics industry for its
accuracy and efficiency. Rays can encounter surfaces in
any order and any number of times, with automatic ray
splitting. Optimized for speed, ASAP will trace millions
of rays in minutes.
|
The standard edition of ASAP includes a license of the
SolidWorks® Parts Only 3D Modeling Engine - an intuitive
3D-design environment optimized for use with ASAP. Write
ASAP geometry files from within SolidWorks, import XML
files, or use BRO's proprietary smartIGES™ system to
import system models from any CAD package while
maintaining fast, efficient ray trace speed.
Use ASAP to model complex imaging systems, illumination
systems, and light-concentrating devices. Create highly
accurate source models using source images, point sources,
ray grids, and fans. Model incandescent bulbs, LEDs, CCFLs,
and HID arc lamps, or import from the BRO Light Source
Library. Perform the analyses necessary to validate your
designs without experimental prototyping. |
