Lambda Research Coporation release TracePro Bridge for SolidWorks 4.1.8, Free to subscribed users
The TracePro Bridge for SolidWorks is an Add-in tool designed to allow SolidWorks users access to TracePro property data. Thus, it permits the export of mechanical models complete with optical properties. This makes it possible to create a TracePro file within SolidWorks and to maintain the design intent contained in the model. Designers can export to TracePro SolidWorks-made models ready for ray trace and optical analysis.
It provides easy exchangeability for both TracePro users who produce mechanical designs in SolidWorks as well as SolidWorks users that need to make optical models to be analyzed in TracePro. The TracePro Bridge for SolidWorks seamlessly incorporates optical property assignment and model navigation features from TracePro into the SolidWorks environment.
This feature allows mechanical and optical designers to produce fully integrated optical, mechanical and lighting designs and analyse the illumination.
