Cloud native EDA tools & pre-optimized hardware platforms
LucidShape CAA V5 Based 2023.06 includes many enhancements to improve your optical design experience.
The Advanced Analysis component of LucidShape CAA now supports color analysis, and several other useful features:
You can now add Ray History Sensors to the majority of the LucidShape CAA sensors, now including the Planar Lux Sensor, the Surface Sensor, and the License Plate Sensor. Combined with the Surface Filter in dynamic mode, you can use the Restore from Sensor tool to explore partial light distributions or ray paths for selected actor surfaces without needing to run an additional simulation.
If you are working with a ray file light source, you can override the flux provided in a ray file without creating a new ray file.
There is a new tool to enable you to add glyphs showing the surface normal at positions you determine along a surface. These positions are saved so you can show and hide the glyphs as needed.
There are several improvements to MacroFocal design features in the LucidShape CAA Design Module.
There are three improvements to the LucidShape CAA Light Guide Design Module:
CODE V example models provide opportunities to explore CODE V¡¯s extensive design and analysis capabilities as you work on practical examples. Get a head start designing your next imaging application with example models in CODE V. We have recently added the following example models to SolvNetPlus:
