OptiCAD® Analysis

OptiCAD® features a truly unconstrained non-sequential ray trace engine. Simply place the sources anywhere in 3D space, and OptiCAD determines where the rays go! OptiCAD supports numerous tools to analyze the optical system including:

• Isometric and arbitrary angle 3D views
• 3D ray trace views
• Sobol & Monte Carlo rays
  
• Spot diagrams
• Energy plots
• Intensity maps
• Irradiance & illuminance maps
• Radiance & brightness maps
  
• 3D Solid display
• 3D Global coordinate system
• Polar and polynet radiometers
• Visualization ray tracing, displaying what an observer actually "sees"
• Data exportable as spread sheet (csv) or bitmap

OptiCAD®Sources

OptiCAD® supports integrated and user defined sources. Multiple sources can be combined anywhere in a 3D geometry. Multiple sources may even be placed inside a complex object.

• Point sources
• Equal angle, equal solid angle, equal tangent, and equal direction cosine ray bundles (grids)
  
• Isotropic
• Surface or Volumetric sources
• Collimated rectangular or elliptical
• IESNA lamp data
• Radiant Sources
• Diode and diode arrays, Gaussian, multi-mode gaussian, isotropic, lambertian, toroidal, helical, sun, spherical surfaces and solids, cylindrical surfaces and solids, and ellipsoidal solids
  
• Tabulated ray data
• User defined sources
• Arbitrary via external DLL
• 3-D spatial equation
• Spatial bitmap
• Angular equation
• Angular data table
