proe wf4 used to analyze chromed light reflectors

[fabrizio_brescia]

I ask my technicians, electronics lent to mechanics, if it is possible with the mechanical cad simulate the reflection of light rays emitted by the leds and reflections from surfaces.
There are programs that do it, of course they cost inadmissible figures for us that we do not make similar projects.
Sometimes, however, to evaluate the effectiveness even in a limited way, a solution would be useful to have a contour type simulation of the flow lines at a certain height or surface.

generally a led is accompanied by a .raw file that describes the rays coming out the says (part that emits light)
This ascii file is not particularly compressed, it is long because it simulates millions of rays, and these are defined with the center, the coordinates of arrival in space and intensity. If so absurd a cloud of points united by a surface would get the bright solid of the led similar to a "pearl"

more ' led accidents at the same point should sum the values also in case there is a reflective surface this 'pearl' should be twisted according to the angles of reflection.

then the sections of solids should be able to display the curves to equal power etc...

I know that's what professional programs do, but I'm asking if you think a simpler system that makes a small analysis on a simple model could be faced.

Thank you.

I don't think that I create/pro-and have such an application, it's not exactly mechanical/thermic, where there are many custom/able applications.

It's not parametric, but it's speos for creo. It's an add on that it's integrated into the I create package as if it's a cfd like that mentor.
obviously allows to load the ray files that are the measured representation and saved in tables (usually speaking of millions of rays) coming out from the leds.
with those then the program does all the simulations of reflected light etc.
with speos you can design lenses, reflectors and see the result (if you are looking for network footage)

Good to know!
