Synopsys, Inc. announced the availability of enhancements to its LightTools illumination design and analysis software, acquired as part of Synopsys’ acquisition of Optical Research Associates (ORA). LightTools 7.2 delivers features that will help users graphically analyze simulation results, compute important metrics when designing for the lighting industry, iteratively design with CAD software and improve the efficiency of luminaire and solar designs. These capabilities enable lighting designers to more easily explore design alternatives, study light behavior and improve product quality early in the design process.
“Our goal is to deliver software innovations that help engineers create high-quality illumination designs and accelerate their design processes,” said George Bayz, vice president and general manager of the Optical Solutions Group at Synopsys. “The latest enhancements in LightTools offer users customizable analysis that allows them to access system performance data quickly and efficiently and to display that data in the exact format they need to communicate results to design teams, project management and customers.” Read More
