Design & Simulation Software Guide 2025
In this Special Issue, Digital Engineering presents its second annual guide to design and simulation software vendors.
TracePro 7.2 is the latest release of Lambda Research's illumination and optical analysis software. This release features a fully interactive 3D optimizer specifically designed to increase productivity by giving the user control of the optimization process, according to the company. The new 3D optimizer features a sketch utility to quickly create any 3D symmetric or asymmetric CAD geometry, interactive ray tracing for design verification, and digitization of target functions.
TracePro 7.2 also features a new DMD RepTile geometry to simulate DMD chips to design projection TVs and digital cinema projectors. Each mirror segment can be oriented individually to simulate scenes using this new feature.
This release also features new material property catalogs from several different vendors (Kopp, Umicore, Vitron) and added exotic materials in the Crystals, Metals, Liquids, and Plastic catalogs.
