SmartStart Library Updates

The SmartStart Library includes optical properties and materials for commercially available diffusers, reflectors, mold textures, plastics, and glasses to help designers model optical systems with greater accuracy and physical realism. It is available as a separate module in LightTools and LucidShape.

ÁùºÏ²ÊÖ±²¥¿ª½± regularly adds content to the SmartStart Library on SolvNetPlus. February is time for a new quarterly release.  The latest updates include additional optical properties and materials from well-known manufacturers including R?hm, Plaskolite, Luminit, Microrelleus, LX MMA, LG Chemical and some others.  Additionally, some new catalogs were added for Young Optics and CST Studio.

To achieve the most accurate simulation results, we recommend downloading the new quarterly release, and replacing those datasets in your downloaded SmartStart Library with these newly published ones.
