Yes, with caveats.
DIALux 4.13 is a legacy version of the professional lighting design software developed by Subject: Bridging the Gap Between Calculation and Atmosphere
The core strength of 4.3 was its calculation reliability. It utilized robust radiosity methods that were optimized for the hardware of the time. It separated the "planning" phase from the "calculation" phase.

As global standards for energy efficiency and workplace safety tightened, DIALux provided the "black box" of equations needed to verify that a building met legal requirements.
Open the manufacturer plug-in, select luminaires, and drag them into the project.
Creating a technical paper on (the modern standard for professional lighting design) requires a blend of software functionality, engineering principles, and practical application. Since DIALux Evo is the current flagship version, the following framework focuses on its capabilities in the context of academic or professional research. Paper Title Proposal
At some point, you may need to migrate. DIAL GmbH provides a tool but be warned:
