BIO Toolkit

The BIO Toolkit™ for use with ASAP® Optical Software is a set of interactive and example scripts for modeling light propagation and scattering in biological systems. The Toolkit is the only simulation tool available to model light/tissue interactions in human skin at user-defined wavelengths, and to model light propagation in accurate, stereoscopic human eye models.

Realistic Skin Model™ (RSM™): a flexible skin-phantom creation system utilizing interactive menus to simplify the modeling process (includes hair, blood vessels, and dermal papillae modeling). Users may select a wavelength between 300 and 1000nm and use stored data to model tissue. Alternatively, users may input their own measured data to build custom models.

Advanced Human Eye Model™ (AHEM™): a flexible eye-model creation system utilizing interactive menus (includes numerous user-defined settings, as well as cloning and positioning tools). Users may customize parameters to build individual or stereoscopic models, complete with detailed geometry, such as GRIN zones in the intraocular lens, and realistic optical properties.

Biological system models, such as surfaces rendered using CT or MRI scans, often consist of thousands of objects. Therefore, the BIO Toolkit is often paired with ASAP CAD+, which has the CAD interoperability and advanced ray-tracing features to import, analyze, and resolve fine detail in biological systems. Interoperable with SolidWorks®, Rhinoceros®, and other CAD packages, ASAP CAD+ and the BIO Toolkit are the world's most sophisticated software package for modeling bio-optical systems.

CATIA Module

The CATIA Module allows ASAP CAD+ users to open native CATIA V5 files from within ASAP. BRO is an adopter of the CAA V5 architecture, which means CATIA users can count on accurate, seamless geometry transitions into ASAP.

CATIA Module Features

• Open native CAA V5 CATIA files from the program by Dassault Systemes

ELTM Module

The Exterior Lighting Test Module (ELTM) automates the task of SAE, FMVSS and ECE test compliance for the automotive industry. The ELTM Module also supports and stores user-defined tests, and walks users through the setup process and presents a pass/fail indicator for each test point.

ELTM Features

• ECE (Economic Commission for Europe) lighting tests
• FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) lighting tests
• SAE Ground Vehicle Lighting Standards tests (SAE HS-34 Manual)
• Use pass/fail indicators for predefined or user-defined lighting tests
