Posted on: Thursday, 31 March 2005, 18:00 CST

Breault Research Organization Inc. (BRO) is pleased to announce the release of ASAP(TM) 2005 -- the next generation of the time-proven industry standard in optical-simulation software. The most sophisticated optical software program available, ASAP 2005 offers optical system designers unmatched capability, flexibility, speed and accuracy.

The product of more than 20 years of continuous development by BRO's optical engineers, software engineers and physicists, ASAP is a virtual-prototyping application enabling product designers to accurately predict the real-world performance of automotive lighting, bio-optic systems, coherent systems, displays, imaging systems, lightpipes, luminaires and medical devices.

Optical system designers in 35 countries count on ASAP to qualitatively and quantitatively model real-world performance with high accuracy. The dependable simulation results produced by ASAP empower product designers to create without compromise and advance the state-of-the-art in optical technologies -- all on shortened product development timelines.

ASAP 2005 comes with new modeling and analysis capabilities, several new graphical user interface features and numerous interoperability enhancements. Recognizing the need for seamless file transfer from mechanical engineering environments to the ASAP optical engineering environment, BRO's recent development efforts have focused on interoperability with other industry-standard engineering software packages.

ASAP 2005 can be configured to include a CAA V5 plug-in for CATIA(R), by Dassault Systemes, an API-based plug-in for SolidWorks(R), by SolidWorks Corp., an ASAP-specific IGES import profile for Rhinoceros(R), by McNeel & Associates and IGES import capability for other CAD programs.

ASAP 2005 is also able to import and export complex field distributions from the finite-difference, time-domain code FDTD Solutions(TM), by Lumerical Solutions Inc. Together, ASAP and FDTD Solutions are able to handle both macroscopic optical systems and microstructures in an elegant manner. No other software combination can model such a range of optical systems.
