AutoCalc-Concepts

The AutoCalc command automatically recalculates the Illuminance values each time a luminaire modification or calculation modification is applied. It does so by removing the direct component of the existing luminaire distribution and replacing it with the new luminaire distribution. In other words, AutoCalc reacts to a luminaire or calculation modification by subtracting the old luminaire contribution and adding in the new luminaire contribution.

AutoCalc calculations are much faster than normal calculations because of this calculation method. No loss in accuracy is achieved with AutoCalc.

AutoCalc is only available with the Direct Only calculation method, as only the Direct component can be calculated in this manner.
