Description

Paraxia-Plus-10 is an advanced optical design software tailored for Windows, specifically focused on applications involving laser resonators and the propagation of laser beams. Its intuitive drag-and-drop interface allows for immediate visualization of beam characteristics through the innovative “Digital Laser Workbench” mode. Laser engineers and designers benefit from unique access to beam data and analytical results that are typically not obtainable from conventional geometric optics codes that employ ray tracing. The software includes a comprehensive suite of tools such as optimization features, tolerance analysis, stability charts, and FFT-based rigorous propagation for arbitrary input beams. This functionality facilitates the simulation of diffraction phenomena as well as beam misalignments caused by components that are either decentered or have sustained damage from lasers. Additionally, waist dimensions and locations are provided in relation to each component, and users can track beam diameter and radius of curvature at any point along the beam's trajectory. The flexibility of the program allows users to incorporate custom code to further enhance its capabilities and enable scripting for more intricate calculations. Utilized globally by consultants, laser manufacturing firms, and government laboratories, many users operate multiple instances of this powerful software to meet their diverse needs. The program’s extensive features and adaptability make it an invaluable tool in the field of laser design and analysis.

Description

VABS is a widely-used tool for cross-sectional analysis that allows for rapid and straightforward computation of beam characteristics and the recovery of 3D fields in composite beams, such as those found in helicopter and wind turbine blades. It stands out as the sole tool that can effectively decouple an intricate 3D slender solid with a detailed microstructure into a fundamental engineering beam model. Originating from the aerospace sector, AnalySwift has developed tools specifically for composite beams including helicopter rotor blades, propellers, high aspect ratio wings, and wing section designs, in addition to plates, shells, and 3D structures. With several years of application in the wind turbine industry, VABS consistently provides swift and precise results for wind turbine blade modeling. Furthermore, SwiftComp extends its capabilities to offer solutions for plates, shells, and 3D composite structures. As the automotive industry increasingly incorporates composites into vehicle design, there is a growing potential to utilize both SwiftComp and VABS for modeling a diverse range of structural forms, such as beams, plates, and shells, thereby expanding their applicability. The versatility of these tools makes them invaluable across multiple engineering disciplines.
