SOLIDWORKS Link Module
Dynamically link SOLIDWORKS and LightTools for efficient optomechanical modeling
Update sketches and features in the SOLIDWORKS model in LightTools, see changes made in SOLIDWORKS to linked parts and assemblies from LightTools, and establish optical properties that are persistently defined in LightTools throughout the process. Automatically refine SOLIDWORKS geometry with LightTools Optimization.
The SOLIDWORKS Link Module is fully integrated in LightTools. You can work with SOLIDWORKS geometry in LightTools as if you were working with native LightTools geometry.
Capture an entire product design family within a single LightTools model and compare different product configurations. Create custom library items with properties and materials specific to CAD designs.
LightTools' optimized algorithms allow for faster simulation speeds.
LightTools light sources, optical properties, and other material surfaces improve accuracy and design flexibility.
Powerful LightTools algorithms and improved data sharing with SOLIDWORKS create a dynamic duo of improved workflow and design accuracy.
