Description

FRED is an all-encompassing software solution designed to model the behavior of light in optomechanical systems through ray tracing techniques. It accommodates both coherent and incoherent light paths and enables users to apply realistic surface characteristics to each system component. Among its notable features are the rapid and precise simulation of a variety of light sources, including lasers, arc lamps, LEDs, ideal emitters, bulbs, and custom ray sets defined by users. The software also includes sophisticated geometry handling, scattering capabilities, optimization tools, scripting options, and graphical utilities, allowing for meticulous control over ray tracing parameters during the simulations. Additionally, it offers extensive post-tracing analysis tools and reports, facilitates real-time visualization and modification of intricate optical and mechanical configurations, and boasts high extensibility through user-generated scripts. Ultimately, FRED serves as a fundamental resource for the effective propagation of light within optomechanical frameworks, making it invaluable for researchers and engineers in the field.

Description

Renishaw's MODUS software serves as a robust solution for 5-axis measurement tasks. Its customizable user interface facilitates the offline development of native DMIS programs, which can extract geometry, dimensions, and tolerance data from CAD files while providing complete simulation capabilities. The software is equipped with certified algorithms that ensure accurate feature measurement, construction, and part alignment. Users can create programs directly from CAD, allowing for on-screen verification of probe paths. Additionally, it enables users to define the CMM environment, fixture setup, and the positioning of the part, which allows for comprehensive simulation of the 5-axis measurement procedures. This functionality significantly reduces CMM downtime, as programs can be prepared in advance, often requiring minimal to no prove-out time. Moreover, MODUS boasts a wide array of reporting features, including traditional text reports that can be fully customized by the user. Enhanced graphical reporting options allow for results visualization in relation to the CAD model, incorporating tools like whisker charts and 3D form plots for various features, thus providing a detailed understanding of measurement outcomes. Ultimately, this software not only streamlines the measurement process but also enhances accuracy and efficiency in manufacturing.
