Cloud native EDA tools & pre-optimized hardware platforms
When you’re analyzing a complex optical design, it’s important to be able to follow the ray paths to observe how rays interact with all relevant shapes. This can be cumbersome to do when surfaces are displayed in Wireframe, but if you switch to Shaded display, the shaded geometry blocks your view into the simulation model.
Did you know that it’s possible to see the light flow inside your design in Shaded mode? Of course it is – with a clipping plane!
To create a LucidShape clipping plane, select the menu Geometry > Create Clipping Plane.
We are pleased to announce that version 2020.12 of LucidShape Lite is now available.
Key improvements include:
Human Eye Vision Image
Extended IIHS Headlight Benchmark
