RayViz™: an add-in for SOLIDWORKS® that enables the visualization of light rays and ray paths.
Efficient workflow management tool for optical and mechanical design
RayViz is a SOLIDWORKS® add-in that allows users to assign and save optical properties directly to a SOLIDWORKS model using built-in TracePro functionality.
By using a single model in both TracePro for ray tracing and optical analysis and SOLIDWORKS for mechanical design and optical material modification, RayViz ensures data integrity.
Optical designers can significantly speed up the iterative design process without sacrificing performance or functionality.
Designing, tolerancing, and documenting optical systems requires close collaboration between optical and mechanical engineers. Design teams face the challenge of shorter product development cycles and tighter R&D budgets.
To effectively manage collaboration, RayViz not only facilitates optical design but also supports the development of the entire system by integrating the optical model with the SOLIDWORKS model and the design team’s workflow.
How does it work?
Start with a SOLIDWORKS model
Create parts and assemblies in SOLIDWORKS. However, SOLIDWORKS itself does not support defining optical properties for parts and assemblies.
Apply optical properties and archive in SOLIDWORKS
With RayViz add-in, define and modify optical component geometry and material and optical surface properties in the TracePro system tree in SOLIDWORKS. Save the model in SOLIDWORKS or TracePro format.
Open your model in TracePro, trace rays and analyze optical performance
Open a saved model in TracePro and you will see an instant representation of the SOLIDWORKS model in the TracePro model tree. The “healing husk” tool examines imported geometry and lets you analyze, repair, and join its elements. Use TracePro’s analytical capabilities to optimize and tolerance your design. Then return to SOLIDWORKS to modify geometry and optical properties and save the updated model.
RayViz is an indispensable tool for design teams, enabling efficient management of optical and mechanical design in one integrated environment.
