Enhancements for Efficient Design Workflow

LucidShape CAA V5 Based includes ease-of-use improvements, such as CATIA Design Tables for efficient simulations of multiple model configurations, and improved design-for-manufacturing capabilities for automotive light guides. Designers can achieve first-time-right designs and faster time to market with CATIA-integrated optical and mechanical modeling and fully parametric features.

Key Features of LucidShape CAA V5 Based

The following features are included in LucidShape CAA V5 Based:

• Powerful Design Tools: Geometry creation tools that give users the freedom to focus on overall design objectives rather than the implementation details of complex optics have always made LucidShape unique. These tools are now available to CATIA users in the new LucidShape CAA Design Module.
• Stunning Photorealistic Renderings: Photorealistic visualization is used in the creative process to evaluate the aesthetics of a lighting design, and in the engineering process to evaluate optical feasibility based on uniformity, brightness, and manufacturability. The new LucidShape CAA Visualize Module generates stunning, physics-based photorealistic images.
• Ease of Use and Design-for-Manufacturability: Ease-of-use improvements in the LucidShape CAA Base Module include the CATIA Design Table feature that allows users to construct and simulate design variations quickly. It also streamlines the creation of multiple design forms for a product line. In addition, the Light Guide Design Module provides designers with the capability to efficiently create light guides with fillets that conform to manufacturing constraints.
