Synopsys Announces New Release of LucidShape Software for Automotive Lighting Design and Analysis

Version 2018.06, Now Available, Reduces Design Iterations Needed to Meet Lit Appearance and Regulatory Requirements

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 13, 2018 — (PRNewswire) —  Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced the latest release of its LucidShape® software for the design, simulation and analysis of automotive exterior lighting. Sophisticated new simulation capabilities in LucidShape version 2018.06 make the design of automotive headlight and signal light systems faster and more efficient.

"New simulation capabilities in LucidShape make the analysis of automotive headlights and signal lights more efficient and reproducible," said George Bayz, vice president of Synopsys' Optical Solutions Group. "For example, with the fixed random seed calculation, designers can re-simulate a model and precisely replicate previously obtained simulation results. This eliminates statistical variation for subsequent simulations when compared to the previous simulation, which is important when analyzing the impact of small model changes on photometry."

About Synopsys LucidShape Products

Synopsys' LucidShape products provide a complete set of design, simulation and analysis tools for automotive lighting.
