Full support in CODE V for aspheric surfaces based on mathematical formulations published by Dr. G.W. Forbes of QED Technologies enables superior design optimization and tolerancing.

The CODE V Beam Synthesis Propagation (BSP) feature allows you to accurately analyze optical systems containing complex diffraction characteristics.

With CODE V Image Simulation, you obtain fast, accurate visual assessments of system image quality, including diffraction.

ERCO specializes in producing engineering hardware and software for architectural lighting. Needing to create a reflector design that would allow easy and flexible adaptations to be made to a variety of architectural lighting applications, they turned to LightTools. LightTools was used to create the innovative Spherolit reflectors, which are distinguished by their 3D spherical curvature that can be shaped for specific light distributions.

LightTools delivers ease of use, fast and flexible ray tracing, a fully featured optical and mechanical design environment, and expert technical support.

The LightTools Optimization Module automatically improves the performance of virtually any type of illumination system.

The LightTools Photorealistic Rendering feature allows you to generate life-like images of your optical and mechanical models.

The LightTools SolidWorks® Link Module allows you to dynamically link SolidWorks mechanical models to LightTools, where you can assign optical properties, optimize, and directly update SolidWorks designs.
