One of our goals in Ansys is to model reality so our customers get the most accurate modeling analysis that agrees with their measurements in the real world. As part of this goal, we are enhancing the Non-Sequential mode in OpticStudio. In the 22.3 r
Hi all: I think this is a bug but I will let you guys try it out as well. Although I discovered this issue only in 2026 R1.04, I believe it may be happening in previous versions as well.Using Tilt/Decenter tool crashes the LDE. Example LDE setup as s
Hi all, Is there a way to send a Black box file of non sequential system that can be opened and analyzed in SPEOS? Thanks,Nadav
Hi all, I am currently doing some tolerance analysis and would like to use TEZI multiple times for the same surface to model surface form deviations of different order. My tolerance data editor looks for instance as follows (just random numbers): The
Hi AllAs I simulate SMF 28 ultra fiber Return Loss, use NSC mode to simulate this item.fiber(source DLL in the fiber core) + polish angle 8degrees + Alens + Mirror. Based on fiber NA 0.094 to set cladding and core, but seems not mach. How to set the
I recently read that Ansys is moving forward with AI tools, implementing Copilot in other software, but nothing about Zemax. Is there any research done about it? Any estimated date?
Any thoughts to the above?Imagine I’m creating some linear geometry, like a trough concentrator. I’d like to be able to optimize some of the geometry as defined in the x-z plane, but this geometry is just extruded some length along y.For a simple par
Hello again friends from the Zemax community, I’m trying to optimize an optical system in where I have an input spherical wavefront (a single point) and the output is another spherical wavefront with a changed radius of curvature. Since my image is
Dear Zemax Team, I shortly designed a high numerical aperture system (NA>0.9) and did a tolerancing. The system is a rotational symmetric objective with spherical surfaces only. Useably quite simple for a ray tracer. Subsequently, I performed a Mo
For both radiometric analysis (for example determining the power incident on a detector) and optimization, the best choice for a source is almost always a pseudo-random source such as a Source Ellipse, with enough analysis rays to provide for smooth
One year ago, @Xianglei wrote a topic (thanks a lot!) about:Since its been quite painful to generate such plots with ZPL (thanks to @Erin.Elliott, we might get a fix in 2025 🤞):I’ve been using the ZOS-API option more and more to create animations.
I’m strictly in sequential mode, but I’m not getting rays in the generated STEP file.All surfaces selected, Number of rays = 3Ray pattern = XY, Ray layer = 1, Lens layer = 0Wavelength = mid value, all fields selected, configuration 1 is selected, to
