LightTools 8.0 delivers even faster illumination simulations with multi-CPU support, while new 3D objects, utilities, and enhanced parametric controls simplify design of state-of-the-art lighting components.
5n9F\T5 C62<pLJf MULTI-CPU SUPPORT
-9aht}Z Can dramatically improve the speed of simulations, analyses, and design optimizations. Multi-CPU support enables forward simulation processes to take advantage of all CPUs or cores on a computer. This built-in feature is used whenever you run a forward simulation.
`E|IMUB~ +i)1 jX< NEW 3D OBJECTS
S>"dUM Expands the range of shapes you can create in LightTools for designing state-of-the-art lighting components. New LightTools 3D objects include revolved solids, extruded solids, revolved sheets, extruded sheets and freeform sheets.
{X"X.`p ax3:rl ILLUMINANCE DISPLAY IN THE 3D MODEL
C&5T;=<jKO Provides more tools for visualizing the shape and orientation of the distribution relative to model geometry. Additional options for displaying simulation results in the 3D Design view enable you to display illuminance results for all dummy plane receivers in a model at once, or display results in true color as well as false color.
f ~Fus LZoth+: PARAMETRIC CONTROLS
1%-?e``. Increases the usefulness of parametric controls by providing new ways to conveniently move and group them, which can simplify model data management.
