RayCAD©
Integration of optical and mechanical design
based on
Inventor |
Introducing
RayCAD for Inventor - quick-to-learn,
easy to use, yet a versatile and powerful optical modeling tool, benefiting
from the many features provided by total integration with Autodesk Inventor.


Parts that are designed in Inventor can be made optical. Inventor parts are made refractive
by simply applying optical material. A large selection of glass
manufacturers is available. The surfaces of Inventor's parts can
easily be made into mirrors, gratings and beam splitters.

Catalog of Lenses and Import from
RayCAD for AutoCAD
provides data enabling parametric modeling of conic and aspheric
lenses. Since these components are also regular Inventor parts,
they can be Table driven and constrained to the rest of the system.
The optics become part of Inventor Properties, like Center of
gravity, Mass and Inertial Properties.
Light
sources are presented in several ways. Any number of sources can be present
and selectively traced at several wavelengths. Conical and Cylindrical
shape sources are used as construction rays, generating arrays or random ray
sets. Ray data formatted like "Radiant Imaging"
files can be attached to a part making the ray casting emulate a
real source.

Also, any Inventor surfaces can become emitters.
A coil or spring can model a filament.
Whether the job is a new optical mechanical design or
packaging an existent optical module,
RayCAD for Inventor
enables you to
manage both optical and mechanical issues with an accurate and realistic
simulation of the light's propagation.
RayCAD for Inventor
is an excellent extension to
RayCAD for AutoCAD.
Compatible with Inventor versions 2011 - 2016.
