Optical simulation, Ansys acquired Optis

Ansys acquired Optis, a provider of software for scientific simulation of light, human vision and physics-based visualization, expanding its solutions portfolio in the area of optical simulation.

Headquartered in La Farlède, France, Optis develops physics-based software that simulates light and human vision. Optis bases its solutions on real-world physics to give the most accurate simulation possible, while other vendors consider the aesthetics of light. The company’s customers include a leading automotive industry names, including Audi, Ford, Toyota and Ferrari as well as business leaders in other fields like Boeing, Airbus, GE, Swarovski and L’Oreal.

Engineering simulation plays an increasingly important role in sensor development, especially in the development of safe autonomous vehicles. The addition of Optis’ capabilities to the Ansys portfolio will result in a comprehensive sensor solution for the market, covering visible and infrared light, electromagnetics and acoustics for camera, radar and lidar.

Optis has also developed a photo-realistic virtual reality and closed-loop simulation platform, which will help speed the development of autonomous vehicles. Using this VR backbone, combined with other Ansys solutions, automotive manufacturers can simulate the environment driverless vehicles are navigating, including road conditions, weather and one-way streets.
