Hi, I’m trying to begin designing TIR lens with outer TIR surface and inner lens surface in small cylindrical hole. I guess most optical engineers understand what I mean by that. What is best approach to this in NSC. I’m thinking of three options.
- Use boolean combination of lenses and cylinder. I think this is illustrated in a KB article.
- Using freeform Z object with surface profiles parameters.
- Using part designer.
I guess there are pros/cons of each method above. I’m more interested in 2 and 3 which I didn’t see illustrated in any KB article or training materials for OpticStudio yet. What are your thoughts and recommendations?
