Feature Highlight- AGi32 Version 1.40
Released April 11, 2001
Compare lighting designs visually and objectively using the new absolute scaling feature in AGi32 1.40. Set a maximum Luminance or Illuminance level on which to base the scale and you can actually SEE the differences in competitive design scenarios. Select from a Linear or Power Law scale, Grayscale or Pseudocolor imagery.See how here.
Floodlight Aiming Diagrams
The floodlighting industry has been struggling with the creation of little bubble diagrams to make floodlight aiming easy for contractors as long as we can remember. Well, now it can be done almost effortlessly (ok, you have to click the mouse a few times to express your preferences). See how here.
Small Target Visibility (STV)
Lighting Analysts is proud to announce that AGi32 is now the first and only commercial lighting calculation program to compute the new STV criteria introduced with IESNA document RP-8-2000, The American National Standard Practice for Roadway Lighting. STV offers yet another design criteria to insure high quality lighting for roadways. See how here.
Other enhancements:
Network Licensing - Sold in packages of 5 concurrent uses. Install AGi32 on as many computers as you want in your office, five can use the software at the same time. Contact us for pricing details. Yes, we do offer credits for licenses already owned!
Render mode Anti-aliasing - Get rid of the jagged edges in your models!
Batch processing! Run multiple A32 files while you sleep.
Direct mode calculations now consider obstruction from Buildings and Objects. No longer do you need to run those big outdoor jobs in Full Calc mode unless you want to render.
Direct calculations have been improved by as much as 50% for large applications. This is due to a limiting factor with prevents the program from calculating values before a set value (see Tools-System Settings-Advanced Settings).
