basic information
● Seamless integration with "Lighting Simulator CAD" through plugin support for the 3D modeling software "Rhinoceros 5," allowing work on "Rhinoceros" to be directly linked to "Lighting Simulator CAD." ● The properties icon for "Lighting Simulator CAD" has been added to the toolbar of the "Rhinoceros 5" interface, enabling the creation of simulation models such as light source models and material specifications, as well as testing ray tracing directly within "Rhinoceros." The 3D model data no longer requires conversion to an intermediate file, thus avoiding shape errors that can arise from data conversion. ● Additionally, model files can be saved in the "Lighting Simulator CAD" format, allowing for lighting analysis by loading the saved files into "Lighting Simulator CAD." ● Furthermore, by combining with the optional API module, operations including analysis execution can be performed directly within "Rhinoceros."

Company information
Since the early 2000s, our company has a history of developing various evaluation software for imaging optical systems such as eyeglass real image simulators and digital cameras, as well as image processing software for interferometers, on a contract basis for various equipment manufacturers. The "Lighting Simulator" series is a purely domestic original package software that simulates lighting optical systems, based on the accumulation of software technology in the optical field, under the technical guidance of Dr. Genta Ushiyama (Engineering), author of books such as "Simulation Optics: For Diverse Optical Design" (Tokai University Press) and "Learn Solidly! Basic Knowledge of Optical Design" (Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun). Leveraging the strengths of our in-house development, we have a development system that quickly translates user requests into version upgrades and flexibly responds to the development of auxiliary tools and customization.
