What K2 Users Are Saying

“I’ve used CODE V for 25 years. K2 takes what used to take a day and gets it done in a couple of hours.”

“We used to spend hours creating and updating reports. The auto-report feature now updates our charts in seconds!”

“K2’s tolerancing charts help me see the ‘worst offenders’ quickly. I love how K2 makes CODE V text output graphical and easy to understand.”

“I love how the Global Solution explorer cuts out a WHOLE bunch of iterations by letting me find the best as-built designs as opposed to nominal designs.”

K2 is CODE V your way.

You have important work to do. That’s why K2’s powerful tools adapt to you, not the other way around.

  • Customize the interface to match the way you work best.
  • Write your custom macros faster with speed-boosting shortcuts.
  • Generate beautiful reports in just a few clicks (no more “copy-paste” headaches).

More Happy Users

“We had a 20-hour custom script for tolerancing, now it runs in only 2-hours using multi-core! And it integrates MATLAB!”

“CODE V’s TOR runs quickly to predict the effects of 1,000’s of tolerance perturbations. K2’s tolerance sensitivity bar charts help me visualize the tolerance drivers instantly! And it handles multiple metrics when using Monte Carlo and finite difference tolerancing!”

“CODE V’s advanced optimization engine can output 1,000’s of lines of text. K2’s Optimization Dashboard sorts and plots the output to quickly find the most important constraints!”

“I’ve designed optical systems in seven different design codes, and years ago I vowed that I wasn’t interested in learning any more – I’d stick with the several hundred three letter commands at the command line. This is different, and enjoyable.”

K2 is easy to learn and fun to use.

With built-in examples and tutorials right where you need them, you spend less time learning and more time creating.

With sliders, auto-complete, and the Global Solution Explorer, you spend less time wrangling software and more time doing work that matters.
