About

RayViz is a SOLIDWORKS add-in developed by Lambda Research Corporation that enables users to apply and save optical properties directly within the SOLIDWORKS CAD environment. This integration allows for the assignment of optical characteristics from the TracePro property database, which are then stored as part of the SOLIDWORKS model. Users can define light sources and perform ray tracing within SOLIDWORKS to visualize light rays and paths, facilitating tasks such as beam path verification, detection of vignetting by mechanical structures, and identification of light leakage in light guides. RayViz includes catalogs of LED sources, as well as sources with Gaussian and Lambertian beam profiles. A significant advantage of RayViz is its ability to save SOLIDWORKS models in TracePro file format, enabling comprehensive optical analysis in TracePro. If modifications are made to the SOLIDWORKS model, the "update from RayViz" option in TracePro allows for synchronization of the changes.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I liked how you can add calculation zones to different layers. That is helpful. Navigating around the model is pretty fluid. The different views in the top toolbar are pretty helpful.

Cons

  • The software is incredibly slow. The Properties tab does not work half the time. I'll be in the Statistics tab and right click on one of the calculation zones, and it will not go into the properties of the calculation zone. That bothered me a lot. I was especially difficult when the calculation zones are hidden but not in the default calculation zone. Visual Print Editor is by far the WORST software I have ever used. I am not angry; I feel that it must be emphasized how difficult and non-user-friendly the software is to use. The scaling feature is incredibly laggy. When using tables, the table placement is not measure in rows; its measured it some unit, mm maybe, but still incredibly frustrating. Thankfully I do not have to use this software all the time.
