Advanced Optical and Acustic Analysis

Numesys SPEOS Technical Team provides engineering and consulting services for computer-based design and virtual prototyping in almost every field of many industries such as marine industry, medical industry, communications, defense, aerospace and space, white goods, consumer electronics, and automotive industries. Among the services provided by Numesys SPEOS Technical Team experts are optical analysis and improvement, optical design and design verification, analyses and optimization based on world standards, optical camera, sensor, lidar and radar analyses, Head-Up Display design, analysis and optimization, analyses of infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) applications where light is not visible, and design of optical components, user physical, optical and mechanical performance experiences thanks to targeting systems analyses, photorealistic visuals and realistic visual product experience, driving simulators and virtual reality systems. At the same time, you can examine the effects of thermal and mechanical deformations on optical performances in interaction with the fluid and mechanical units in the product family with our expert team.

Thanks to ANSYS Optical product group solutions, optical designs for automotive, defense, aviation, lighting, white goods, and all other sectors can be analyzed and verified. It enables visual and mathematical photometric, colorimetric, spectral, and radiometric analyses, simulating optical designs without producing products in terms of illumination, luminance and intensity measurements and realizing errors at the design stage. In addition, thanks to optical experts, suggestions and approaches for optimizations can be developed after optical performance analyses according to customer requests. Through ANSYS Optical solutions such as all interior and exterior lighting for automotive, stray light and colorimetric environmental space effect of targeting systems for defense, EULUMDAT and photometric performance for the lighting industry, under-button lighting for white goods or other lighting products analyses are at customer’s service.

ANSYS Speos can simulate plastic, metal, and all other materials that users plan to use in optical or mechanical parts in real life and the pattens they will use. In this way, material effects on optical performance can be tested. Materials were measured in the OPTIS France laboratory or with hand-heldmeasuring devices and presented to the library and customer service. Together with the customer, the optical specialist team can visualize the material and texture properties of the parts in line with the customer requests, and then provide interpretation services to contribute to the optical optimization of the model-material relationship. At the same time, material recommendations can be made according to the results obtained.

ANSYS Speos enables engineers not only to carry out performance analyses of their own products during the engineering phase, but also to do the tests that must be done from the eyes of the user. It can simulate all effects such as reflections and glare that can threaten the visual ergonomics of the driver while driving, especially in areas such as automotive and aviation, such as different environmental conditions, different locations and physical solar conditions of these location, and material changes. In this way, all problems elated to reflection and glare can be evaluated together with the expert team while still in the design phase and can be solved in the pre-production phase with design, layout, and design changes. At the same time, evaluation of reflection and glare effects under night conditions is among the capabilities of ANSYS Speos. Thus, under night conditions, dangerous reflections of ambient lighting, touch-sensitive LED displays or dashboards for aviation and all light-emitting devices in the other cockpit can be detected visually and mathematically with Luminescence analyses.

ANSYS Optical Solutions’ special “Head-Up Design and Analysis” capability provides HUD designs, HUD optical analyses (ghost, astigmatism, magnification, FOV, etc.) especially for the automotive and aviation industries, and subsequently provides optimizations for optical design improvement and a clear HUD image. In this way, by minimizing the need for prototypes, how the HUD placement and visual quality will be can be seen in ANSYS Speos at the design stage. At the same time, it is possible to evaluate the HUD performance visually and photo-realistically from the eyes of the user and to experience it in the drive simulator as well as optical analyses.

Thanks to ANSYS Optical Solutions (Optical Sensor Test), Camera, Sensor, Radar and Lidar analyses consisting of optical and optomechanical components can be performed photometrically, colorimetrically, spectrally and radiometrically. Especially in the automotive, aviation and defense industry, this is used in many areas such as targeting, tracking, and recording, location, back and forward vision, parking, autonomous vehicle use, adaptive smart road lighting systems, day and night vision targeting-camera-binocular systems. Performance analyses of the equipment can be performed day, night, sunlight, weather conditions (fog, rain, etc.) and shiny surfaces (retroflex). In line with these analyses, customer recommendations can be made with the expert team on improvement or settlements.

Thanks to ANSYS Speos, you can get an idea of how your optical products will look in real life, not just as performance outputs, but as photorealistic results. Optical physics underlie the photorealistic visual output - both with and without illumination- of different products, such as automobile, cockpit, washing machine, lampshade; therefore, it can present real-life outputs as day, night, indoor, outdoor, lit (light on) or unlit (light off). In this way, you can see how products will have an effect in the environment as well as during performance analyses alone.
