Littleton, Massachusetts – July 20, 2012 – TracePro 7.2 is the latest release of
Lambda’s award-winning illumination and optical analysis software. This release
features the first fully interactive 3D optimizer specifically designed to increase
productivity by giving the user complete control of the optimization process. The new
3D optimizer features a sketch utility to quickly create any 3D symmetric or
asymmetric CAD geometry, interactive ray tracing for design verification, and
digitization of target functions. This new optimizer drastically reduces design time, increases
productivity, while at the same time giving the user complete control of the optimization
process.
TracePro 7.2 also features a new DMD RepTile® geometry to simulate DMD chips to
design projection TVs and digital cinema projectors. Each mirror segment can be
oriented individually to simulate scenes using this new feature.
This release also features new material property catalogs from several different
vendors (Kopp, Umicore, Vitron) and added exotic materials in our Crystals, Metals,
Liquids, and Plastic catalogs.
