Optimize using the power of
LightTools and SolidWorks
Link optical and mechanical design software to accelerate your illumination design process.
The Light Tools Solid Works® Link Module allows you to
dynamically link Solid Works
mechanical models to Light Tools,
where you can assign optical
properties, optimize, and directly
update your Solid Works designs.
Optical precision and rapid
design evaluations
Deliver innovative illumi-
nation systems with
Light Tools’ full optical
accuracy and fast, powerful
analysis features. Optical
properties are preserved
during bidirectional
communications between
Light Tools and Solid Works
to reduce time and effort
during iterative design.
Automatic design refinement
Light Tools’ integrated optimization
capability improves system
performance automatically with
algorithms specially tailored to
solve illumination problems.
When you link your Solid Works
model to Light Tools, you can
optimize parts, assemblies, and
optical components to meet or
even exceed your design goals.
Seamless data management
Full parametric interoperability
between Light Tools and
Solid Works ensures that all
parameter changes in Light Tools
are immediately updated in
Solid Works. This integrated
environment provides your team
with a collaborative, streamlined
design process.
After 3 iterations, Light Tools optimization improved the on-axis intensity by more than 100x.
