SMARTOptics provides a tool that you can use to simulate the optical path in Creo Parametric. The full integration enables immediate reaction to unforeseeable disturbance factors in the project phase. This saves time and money and shortens the product development process.
All types of geometric optics such as reflections and refraction are supported. The light is displayed in form of individual beams. The accuracy of the results is adequate and sufficient for most cases in technical optics.
The clear arrangement of the commands and an intuitive workflow will help you to complete the optical design quickly and simplifies the use of the software.
You can react to changed boundary conditions at an early stage of the analysis. This increases the flexibility in your company and shortens the development time.
In comparison to other optical software packages, the analysis is done directly in Creo Parametric and you can perform it yourself.
You will have an access to an extensive material library and select material properties from various catalogs.
Any type of assemblies with mirrors or lenses.
Use multi-function studies to determine variances of the target beam depending on tolerances.
How does the light behave on moving parts?
Does the light stay in the fibre optics?
What are the effects of components in the field of view? Where, for example, do blind spots occur?
The following optical elements can be defined:
SMARTOptics offers an extensive glass database with materials from HOYA, OHARA and SCHOTT.
Of course, this database can be extended with your own materials at any time. In addition to the materials, it is also possible to define colors and wavelengths in order to refer to them later on.
The result is temporarily displayed in the assembly.
It is also possible to generate the results as geometry in the form of curves or points in Creo Parametric. This also allows cooperation with partners who do not use SMARTOptics.
SMARTOptics supports the use of different wavelengths for your light sources. Check how your product behaves at different wavelengths and compare the results.

Smartoptics has made our work much easier in past projects. With the help of this simulation program, errors could already be detected in the concept phase, thus avoiding expensive development loops. We were able to optimize the system even before the hardware was ordered and through this we were able to shorten the development and testing process significantly.
In addition, the costs for prototyping could be significantly reduced.
The simulation of complex systems with movable mirrors or filters, which are spatially arranged at different angles, brought particular advantages. The simulation possibility with different wavelengths is also very helpful.
Taking a position on various key points:
Miscellaneous:
SMARTColor helps you to provide machine-readable product and manufacturing information (PMI) through the rule-based application of predefined colors.
SMARTUpdate checks your assemblies, parts and drawings using a set of predefined rules. Based on the check results, the software repairs and updates your data reliably and automatically.
