AGi32

Who Uses AGi32?

This is the industry-standard tool for professionals who require precision and compliance in their lighting plans:

• Lighting Designers: For creating complex, photometrically correct schemes and visualizations.
• Electrical Engineers: For technical calculations, specifications, and validating designs against code compliance.
• Architects and Interior Designers: For integrating lighting seamlessly into overall building design and documentation.
• Government and Municipalities: For designing roadway, tunnel, and exterior public space lighting with high accuracy.
• Lighting Manufacturers and Sales Reps: For demonstrating product performance and creating specification reports.

Why Choose AGi32? (The AGi32 Advantage)

Choose AGi32 because it is recognized as the most robust and trusted lighting calculation engine available. It uniquely combines technical accuracy (utilizing both Direct Only and Full Radiosity calculation methods) with powerful, photorealistic visualization capabilities. This ensures designers can model complex architectural features and accurately predict real-world lighting effects, guaranteeing compliance and meeting client expectations before installation.

Key Benefits of AGi32

1. Unmatched Calculation Accuracy: Provides proven reliability in photometric predictions based on established global industry standards (CIE).
2. Dual Calculation Efficiency: Offers a fast Direct Only method for exterior lighting and the highly accurate Full Radiosity method for modeling interreflected light in interiors.
3. Comprehensive 3D Modeling: Enables easy and accurate creation of complex environments, including intricate architectural shapes and surface characteristics.
4. Seamless CAD Integration: Supports hassle-free import and export of 2D and 3D files (DWG/DXF) from other design software like AutoCAD.
5. Effective Client Presentation: Generates high-quality, photorealistic renderings and dynamic analysis views to clearly communicate design intent.

How to Use AGi32?

The standard workflow for the AGi32 software is logical and design-focused:

1. Model and Import: Build your 3D geometry within AGi32 or import existing building models and geometry from common CAD files.
2. Define and Calculate: Select and place luminaires using the integrated photometric library (Instabase®), then define the specific points and surfaces for photometric calculation (e.g., footcandles on a workplane).
3. Analyze and Present: Run the calculation, immediately evaluate numerical results (isolines, point-by-point values), and generate professional reports and photorealistic renderings for final documentation.

Powerful Features of AGi32

1. Instabase® Cloud Access: Instant access to a vast, manufacturer-provided library of photometric data (IES, LDT files).
2. Advanced Rendering Engine: Utilizes Ray Tracing and Radiosity for creating highly realistic visuals, including accurate shadows and interreflection effects.
3. Code Compliance Tools: Includes specialized calculations for roadway luminance, glare metrics (UGR), obtrusive light control, and daylight simulation.
4. Dynamic Analysis: Interactive tools that allow users to walk through or orbit the rendered model to visualize lighting effects from any perspective.
5. Model Builder: Simple tools for rapid construction of complex architectural elements such as domes, cones, and custom vertical extrusions.
6. Automated Reporting: Generates comprehensive, customizable reports detailing calculations, visualizations, and compliance summaries.
