Koito, leading Headlamp manufacturers, use SPEOS CAA V5 Based for their optical simulation needs



Koito uses SPEOS from OPTIS to conduct lighting simulations of rear marker lights, study the look of the lamp itself  while lit, and ensure compatibility with legally stipulated security standards.
"SPEOS CAA V5 Based makes simulations that are extremely close to the actual product. For example, with LED marker lights, the central portion becomes extremely bright in a circular fashion when lit due to the strong directivity of the light rays, a special feature of LEDs. By accurately modeling these unique features, SPEOS CAA V5 Based lighting simulations allow us to study how the lights appear, and at the same time calculate their level of compatibility with legal security standards. These realistic images also help boost our ability to make proposals to automobile manufacturers." said Sawako Onaka, Computer Aided Engineering Promoting Room, Engineering Dept. Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
