As Heads Up Displays (HUDs) become more prevalent in the automotive industry, designers and engineers are taking more of an interest in simulating and integrating these systems with autonomous driving. These complex systems must perform in a wide range of conditions and in the past the workflow associated with such systems was complex involving multiple departments and various software platforms. This workflow explores the advantages of integrating optical tools together with other physics solvers in an automated process. The results are a streamlined workflow that provides more realistic simulation, better analytics and reduces error.
