SmartOpticsTM for Pro/ENGINEER
Fast and Accurate Modeling of Optical Paths.
SmartOptics is software developed for Pro/ENGINEER that automates all aspects of design and simulation of optical paths directly in the Pro/ENGINEER assembly. 
SmartOptics guides the user through the definition of the part properties or surfaces (i.e. refraction index, mirror property, etc.) in a user friendly graphical user interface. It then computes all resulting optical paths and shows them graphically in the Pro/ENGINEER window. Furthermore, SmartOptics is not restricted to simple geometrical base elements, so even the optical behavior of mirrors or lenses with free-form surfaces can be calculated.
SmartOptics considers the following optical properties of parts:
Reflection
Refraction
Total reflectance
Light diffusion
Loss of intensity
Key Features
Automatic creation of optical paths in Pro/ENGINEER assemblies.
Interactive graphical definition of optical elements
Automatic creation of resultant geometry (curves or points)
ASCII file output of resultant data
How It Works
Define the properties of the parts or surfaces (i.e. refraction index, mirror property, etc.) in a user friendly graphical user interface.
With a simple mouse click, SmartOptics computes all the resulting optical paths and show them graphically in the Pro/ENGINEER window.
Optionally, resultant geometry can be created.
Optionally, all resultant data can be exported.
Typical Applications
Construction of optical components like lenses and mirrors
Determination of discontinuities in optical assemblies
Inspection of the field of vision
Calculation and visualization of luminosity
