SmartOptics™ for Creo (Pro/ENGINEER)

Fast and Accurate Modeling of Optical Paths.

SmartOptics is software developed for Creo that automates all aspects of design and simulation of optical paths directly in the Creo 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 Creo 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 Creo 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 Creo 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
  •
