In recent years LucidShape improved its speed for optical 

simulation step by step using modern algorithms,

multithreading, tessellation, distributed computing, etc.

Now we are taking it to the next level: GPUtrace!

Modern graphics cards have extra computing power

that can be used to speed up the simulation.

This is a quantum leap in speed.

We tested real life models with the state-of-the-art

multi-core simulation method, using the latest

Intel i7 multi-core CPU. Then we compared to the

latest NVIDIA Fermi graph-ics card on the same i7 machine.

n average we experienced a speed-up of factor 30 compared

to multicore simulation. That means the GPU simulation can

be 30 times faster than an ordinary CPU simula-tions.

As your simulation speed is that fast, you can spend more time on

improving your setup than on waiting on simulations.

Also many very demanding applications like the optimization

of light pipes for example can take great advantage

of this new power.

Teilnehmer LucidShape Userconference 2010            

           Prof. Dr. Ing. von Hoffmann refered about the use of

           LucidShape Software in Students education with its

           advantages  for students and companies.                                    

On July 8th/ 9th almost 50 LucidShape/lucidDrive Users from

different parts of Lighitng industry meet in Nürnberg to discuss

new Features of LucidShape and LucidDrive for the third time.

The conference started on Thurday evening with a Script Workshop,

and a Get Together Meeting. The following day was full of interesting

presentations, held by LucidShape Users and Brandenburg GmbH members.

        Topics like "Traffic -Simulation with LuidDrive", "Use of

        LucidShape for the development of Backlighting

        systems" as well as "LucidShape used for aircraft lighting

        design" were only some of the really interesting and

        high qualified issues which where presented. 

In cooperation with its new Indian reseller Maveric Solution Inc.

Brandenburg GmbH presents it's products at 10th Auto Expo.

We invite all customers to visit us at Auto Expo.

You can find us in Hall 6 Stall DE4.

From 25. to 27.09.2009 the 9th Lux Junior, a forum for young academics and professionals in the area of light engineering, took place in Dörnfeld/Ilm near Ilmenau.

The Forum was established by the light engineering department of the technical University of Ilmenau and the "Lichttechnische Gesellschaft e.V.". Several high quality presentations and talks around the field of light engineering were given which provided interesting insights in all areas of light techniques. The small community atmosphere makes it very easy to get into constructive discussion with other the participants.

We would like to say thank you to the organisation - team of Dr. Vandahl and are looking forward to participate in the next Lux-Junior 2011!

Starting on the first day with an informative meeting for potential

customers as well as interested companies and customers,

it continued with the user meeting on the second day. 

In Cooperation with our reseller for Taiwan, China and Korea,

Lucidbright Technologies Ltd.

Brandenburg Gmbh had a two day conference in Shanghai, China.

Many Chinese and Taiwanese customers took part in this first user conference in china.

Lively discussions among the users on several LucidShape topics, as well as the presentation of new LucidShape and LucidDrive features made this event a great success.  

After two day training course "Basics of Automotive Lighting" , Brandenburg GmbH in cooperation with Georg Simon Ohm University and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alexander von Hoffmann the second LucidShape user meeting was held.

Lighting specialists from leading automotive companies as well as general lighting experts joined the conference to learn about new LucidShape and LucidDrive features.

The user meeting was full of lectures from LucidShape users regarding interesting LucidShape applications and user's experiences with the program. 

The user conference is an excellent platform that encourages  users to discuss several LucidShape topics  with each other.In addition it allows users to recommend new LucidShape developements for automotive ans general llighting applications. 

Thank You to all who participated,for making this year's user meeting a huge success!
