SPEOS CAA V5 Based is the only optical simulation software that is fully integrated in Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA V5 product lifecycle management. Integrated technology means you use exactly the same CAD software for your mechanical design, lighting analysis, optical design, and rendering. A unified data model simplifies and accelerates the design process, protects data integrity, and enables engineers to collaborate transparently. The average SPEOS CAA V5 Based customer reduces the time and subsequent cost of design by 65%!

The result of twenty years of light simulation experience, SPEOS CAA V5 Based is the most full featured and realistic tool to create, analyze, and virtually validate innovative lighting systems. SPEOS is differentiated by its ability to simulate human perception and the lit appearance of products and systems, allowing you to optimize the visual ergonomics of human-machine interfaces.

SPEOS CAA V5 Based provides four powerful modules/workbenches in CATIA: light modeling, visual ergonomics, windshield analysis, and architectural lighting.
