ASAP CAD+ has been designed with the fusion of mechanical and optical engineering in mind

ASAP® CAD+ includes a license of the SolidWorks® Parts Only 3D Modeling Engine — an intuitive 3D-design environment optimized for use with ASAP. Write ASAP geometry files from within SolidWorks, import XML files, or use BRO's proprietary smartIGES™ system to import system models from any CAD package and maintain fast, efficient ray trace speed... an area where other optical analysis tools fail.

ASAP CAD+ comes standard with a distributed-processing capability allowing you to complete big design jobs in a fraction of the time required by other tools — spawn up to 5 additional ASAP sessions on your Local Area Network (LAN), without leaving your desk.
