Next-Generation Optical Design Software Released by Optical Engineering Firm Breault Research.ASAP (chat) asap - As soon as possible. 2006 Now Available TUCSON, Ariz. -- Breault Research Organization (BRO bro n. pl. bros Slang 1. A brother. 2. Friend; pal. Used as a form of familiar address for a man or boy: So long, bro. ) has released the next generation of the company's Advanced Systems Analysis Program (ASAP[R]). ASAP is well known to the optics industry as the most sophisticated program available for the virtual prototyping of optical systems and devices. Industry applications for ASAP include automotive, architectural and specialty illumination design, simulation of laser systems and other coherent devices, stray light analysis of telescopes and space-based imaging systems, display modeling, complete biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to biomedicine. 2. Of, relating to, or involving biological, medical, and physical sciences. system modeling, and micro-optical device modeling through FDTD FDTD Finite Difference Time Domain FDTD From Dusk 'Til Dawn interoperability. In the ASAP 2006 release, BRO's development team has focused on interoperability, process automation, and analysis workflow, following best practices outlined within the SEI CMMI See CMM. Capability Maturity Model. New features in ASAP 2006 include: * CAD Export: Enhanced IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) An ANSI file format that is system independent and also intended for human interpretation. Evolving out of the U.S. export with default and user-definable trimming options * CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage, International Commission on Illumination, Vienna, Austria, www.cie.co.at) An international organization that sets standards for all aspects of lighting and illumination, including colorimetry, photometry and the measurement of visible and Analysis: Enhanced data display, renderings, and tests for CIE color analyses * IES Import/Export: Import and export energy distributions in this popular file format * Quick Start Toolbar A row or column of on-screen buttons used to activate functions in the application. Many toolbars are customizable, letting you add and delete buttons as required. Toolbars may be fixed in position or may float, which means they can be dragged to a more convenient location in the : Access interactive scripts for bio models, arrays, and lens creation * Path Explorer: A fast, flexible, and powerful tool for analyzing ray paths in optical systems * Tolerancing: New sensitivity and compensator features with reporting capabilities These and previously existing features enable ASAP users in 35 countries to model and analyze the finest details of optical systems, which means users can depend on their simulations to mirror real-world performance. ASAP analyses validate designs and support smooth transitions to manufacturing.
