Optics and VR
Ansys Speos continues to push the innovation envelope to deliver accurate, high-performance simulation capabilities for optics designers. The 2022R2 release provides powerful capabilities that speed time to result, improve simulation accuracy, and expand interoperability with other Ansys products.
The 2022 R2 release of Ansys Lumerical introduces a series of powerful new capabilities to extend usability, accuracy, performance, and functionality across its family of products. These new features enhance modeling capabilities for electro-optical devices, from SPADs to microLEDs and lasers, and empower photonic integrated circuit (PIC) designer with new capabilities for process-aware design and electronic-photonic design automation (EPDA). Several improvements for integrated flows with Zemax and Speos further streamline modeling of nanoscale to macroscale optics for augmented reality, metalens design, and imaging systems.
Ansys Zemax OpticStudio provides everything a customer needs to simulate, optimize, and tolerate optical designs. Customers can design high-confidence virtual prototypes that they can thoroughly test before manufacturing. Customers can improve their optics workflow by spending more time validating and adding quality to their designs. Automate workflows with our API. OpticStudio STAR (Enterprise edition only) quickly analyzes the impacts of structural and thermal loads.
Ansys Zemax OpticsBuilder supports a more efficient optical design workflow across engineering teams. Shorten time-to-build for optical designs with fast, flawless conversion into CAD. Easily share files in a standard format across optical and mechanical engineering teams.

Capabilities
Ansys Optics & VR predicts the illumination and optical performance of systems while allowing you to visualize future products in virtual reality. Experience physics-based light simulation to understand how your products look under real-world lighting and usage conditions. A mix of virtual prototyping and interactivity allows for the safe optimization of optical sensor layouts for autonomous vehicles
Ansys physics-based imaging, illumination and optical design simulation software streamlines the design process to better understand how your product will perform under real-world lighting and usage conditions.
When customers evaluate your products, the overall look and details can make the difference. Simulate light interactions with materials so you can see how your product will appear in real-world conditions, letting you see eye to eye with your customers and making decisions.
Optical sensors are the eyes of any intelligent system. Assess raw signals from camera and lidar systems in their operating environments. Post-process simulated data to optimize sensor layouts on vehicles in dynamic driving conditions.
Use real-time, interactive and immersive environments to experience your prototype in virtual reality on a 1:1 scale. Ansys VRXPERIENCE offers customized driving scenarios for testing on virtual HMIs, considering human factors analyses and cognitive workloads.
"What makes it different from the traditional development style is that we can prepare a concept in a stage where an area around the light has not yet been designed, which leads to cost optimization. For example, Mazda engineers can use simulation to optimize an automobile lighting mount design for mass production, which saves time and money."
