FRED 2025: The Integrated Platform for Complex Opto-Mechanical System Design FRED 2025 is a powerful, multidisciplinary optical engineering software that combines advanced ray tracing with CAD-like 3D modeling capabilities. It is uniquely designed for analyzing systems where optical performance is intimately tied to mechanical structure, thermal effects, and scatter—making it the preferred tool for tackling challenging problems in stray light analysis, illumination, laser systems, and precision optical assemblies. Core Function: A Unified Environment for Light & Geometry Its core strength is the seamless integration of optical ray tracing with detailed 3D mechanical geometry within a single model. This allows engineers to directly assess how mounts, baffles, housing structures, and surface imperfections affect optical performance and stray light. Key Functions: High-Fidelity...

LucidShape 2024.9: The Premier Virtual Prototyping Platform for Advanced Optical Design In the competitive and highly regulated fields of automotive lighting and precision illumination, virtual prototyping has become indispensable. LucidShape 2024.9 stands at the forefront as a specialized, industry-standard computer-aided engineering (CAE) software suite dedicated to the design, simulation, and rigorous analysis of complex optical systems. This powerful environment, developed in alignment with industry workflows, empowers optical engineers, lighting designers, and photometric experts to create, validate, and optimize lighting solutions entirely in the digital realm before a single physical prototype is built. From conceptualizing the sharp cutoff of an adaptive driving beam to crafting the uniform glow of a rear tail lamp, LucidShape provides the sophisticated ray-tracing engine and specialized...
