Lanika announces release of APEX 2015 V1 from Breault Research Organization (BRO)

APEX 2015 V1 Offers Numerous Enhancements for SOLIDWORKS 2015 with a 30-Day Free Trial Available

Bangalore, INDIA, [March 06, 2015]: AS RELEASED BY BREAULT RESEARCH ORGANIZATION, INC. — TUCSON, Ariz.–MAR. 05, 2015 — Breault Research Organization (BRO), the global provider of virtual prototyping software and optical engineering services, is pleased to announce the release of APEX 2015 V1. Concurrent with the software release to customers, Breault is offering a Free, Fully-Functional 30-Day Trial of APEX 2015 V1.

New feature highlights include an updated menu structure to match changes to the SOLIDWORKS 2015 file menu layout, storage of SOLIDWORKS configuration data with each raytrace, the addition of all SOLIDWORKS sensor types as Optimization or Parametric Study constraints, light source files added to APEX Optical Pack-n-Go archives, exportable data tables from Optimization and Parametric Studies, an updated Bill-of-Materials containing source wavelengths, optical properties and apodization data and new interrogation of the Results Node showing the menu properties under which previous Analyses were performed.

APEX 2015 V1 Release Highlights

Menu Changes in APEX 2015 V1- APEX 2015 V1 file menus have been updated in response to changes in SOLIDWORKS 2015. APEX menus are now consolidated under SOLIDWORKS Tools menu. APEX tabs in the SOLIDWORKS Command Manager are not affected by this change.

Ray-Trace Activation in APEX 2015 V1– APEX 2015 V1 ray-traces and their data are no longer automatically restored when selected in the Results node of the Optics Manager. Users can now choose whether to activate a previous trace to visualize rays in the 3D view. Analyses performed under a specific ray-trace can still be viewed and edited without activating the ray-trace itself.

SOLIDWORKS Configurations in APEX 2015 V1 – APEX 2015 V1 now stores SOLIDWORKS configuration data with each ray-trace. The configuration corresponding to a specific ray-trace can be recalled within the 3D view when the ray-trace is activated, and all SOLIDWORKS parameters associated with that configuration will be restored.

Optimization with SOLIDWORKS Sensors in APEX 2015 V1t – All SOLIDWORKS sensor types can now be used as constraints for Optimization and Parametric Studies. This allows users to include non-traditional parameters such as mass, volume and surface area as constraints as well as interference and proximity detection and even data from SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION.

Enhanced Optical Pack-n-Go in APEX 2015 V1– The APEX Optical Pack-n-Go feature has been updated to include all ray files associated with ray-traces in the archive. This allows users to immediately unpack and run 3D models in an archive file transferred to a different machine having a licensed copy of the APEX software.

Enhanced Analysis Results in APEX 2015 V1– The parameter used to perform a previous Analysis can now be viewed by right-clicking under the Results nodes for current or previous ray-traces. This allows users to avoid duplication of the same analysis under an activated ray-trace.

Enhanced Bill-of-Materials in APEX 2015 V1– The Optical Bill-of-Materials available in APEX has been enhanced to include source wavelengths and source apodization data as well as optical properties assigned too specific surfaces in the 3D view.

Enhanced Optimization and Parametric Study in APEX 2015 V1 – In addition to the use of SOLIDWORKS sensor types, the Optimization and Parametric Study features can now export tabular data in the Results menu for archiving study results or for processing in another program. This option is available by right-clicking anywhere in the Results table itself.

These and other enhancements make APEX 2015 V1 a productivity-enhancing release with design features that advance the state-of-the-art in optical software.
