Features

Hybrid calculation method combining ray-tracing from light source and from view point for fast and accurate simulation of light behavior
Progressive calculation allowing users to quickly access intermediate results or to suspend it to be resumed later

Interface to common geometry file formats, such as IGES and STEP, to build simulation models using CAD data
Arbitrary luminous intensity distribution assignable to illuminants for simulation based on real measured radiation characteristics
Reproduced daylight at any geographic location and any time by specifying latitude, longitude, date and time
Reflectance and transmittance varying according to incidence and emitting angles of light (BRDF/BTDF)
Microstructure (e.g., microlens array) consists of a huge number of microelements formable on surface

Results of simulation presented as physical quantity, such as luminance, illuminance and luminous intensity
Visualization of rays emitted from light sources to intuitively understand how light propagate in space
Advanced rendering for high-quality reproduction of object appearance under specific illumination conditions

Distribution of light source emission definable using ray set data generated from results of near-field goniophotometric measurement
Spectral description of material and illuminant properties to produce results of simulation for each user-defined wavelength
