LambdaSpect is an integrated light simulation tool that works in the Autodesk® Inventor® Assembly environment.

General Usage Instructions

The program registers a custom Ribbon toolbar. The LambdaSpect Ribbon is only visible in the Inventor Assembly and Part environments or when no documents are active ("ZeroDoc" environment). From this toolbar, you can access all LambdaSpect functions. You can use the commands of the underlying Autodesk/Microsoft Ribbon technology to manipulate the display properties, location, alignments etc. of the Ribbon Interface.

Please follow the instruction in the included help documentation. The help file contains a "Getting Started" page that guides you through the first steps. Program functions are documented in the help file.

11.1

- added a timeout to the OpenCL compilation that is run during setup. If the compilation process cannot be finished within 10 minutes, the program will terminate it. - bugfix light source energy distribution: if custom lightsource has more than 1 face, the energy of the light source is now distributed to all faces in GPU simulation - bugfix scattering & reflection: CPU calculation now distributes rays on reflecting surfaces with scattering in the correct direction (reflection was not considered before) - send assembly: if email cannot be sent, the folder with the zip file is opened so that user can send it manually - icon bugfix: LambdaSpect add-in displayed wrong icons in the Inventor context menu "repeat last command" entry - browser item selection now selects the corresponding face for lightsource subitems - light face raycount optimization: update of lightsources with many faces now skips redundant API calls and is now faster - exe and dll files are now digitally signed
