Materials Predictive Appearance for the Automotive Industry

Get support and reactivity into your vehicle project conception

Eclat Digital offers you accurate illumination simulations aimed at predicting the optical performances of interior and exterior vehicle components.

Save time

Design faster, decide sooner

Reducing the need for
a physical part for optical assessment

Highlight tendencies and take first decisions in early development phase

“The Ocean software from Eclat Digital enables Gauzy to showcase end solutions in a much faster way. Due to a photorealistic result created using real material measurements, we can gain the trust of our customers at an early stage and move forward with serial development.”

Han-Alexander Pothoven, Senior Director – General
Manager I Automotive, Gauzy GmbH

Ocean™ provided near-perfect correlation between simulated and measured results on our infinity-lighting demonstrator. The ability to predict light behavior with this level of accuracy helped reduce prototyping iterations by 70%, while accelerating time-to-market and lowering overall development costs.

Solutions for transportation

Validate material aesthetics

Visualise in the most accurate way both exterior and interior materials from an in-situ perspective. Car paint, coated glass, plastic, emitters and many other possibilities!

Track optical artefacts

Assess the optical integration of any vehicle component in the very early stage of your project. Eclat Digital and its solution OceanTM help in identifying optical properties and taking counter measures in the most precise way.

Picture sensor vision

Simulate the view of your integrated sensor with OceanTM and picture its performance within its surrounding environment.

Quantify optical performance

Run precise quantitative analysis of both exterior and interior emitter components! Optimise your lighting elements and display systems through a set of simulations with OceanTM.

Case study

Door pocket lighting study

Eclat Digital’s software solution Ocean™ enables precise computation of the most complex lighting systems. The following door pocket lighting example highlights this feature through a detailed study dedicated to both qualitative and quantitative performance assessment of the system.

Predicting Head-Up Display performance

Use Ocean™ optical simulation software to evaluate automotive HUD performance in real-world driving environments. predict visibility, reflections, contrast, and readability issues caused by windshield properties, ambient lighting, weather, and surrounding materials before physical prototypes are built.

Engineering light propagation

Full-system optical simulation to model light propagation in thin-wall polycarbonate components, combining spectral data, multilayer interfaces, edge-lit sources, mixed specular–diffuse interactions. Ocean™ helps evaluate diffusive structures, light injection configurations, supporting precise control of reflected patterns & luminance distribution.
