My group is developing an optical model complete with tolerancing data.  We intend to turn this model into a black box file to disseminate.  We would like the people who have the black box file to be able to build their own optical system around the black box, including tolerances on their portion of the optical system.   We would like them to be able to run tolerance analysis on the overall system, incorporating the optical tolerances embedded in the black box’s optical model.

Is this possible?  We have not been able to determine from the Zemax manuals if the black box file incorporates the tolerances of the optical model that was black boxed.

Description of the work flow we want to happen:

optical model with tolerances => black box => incorporated into larger optical model by 3rd party => tolerances placed on added optical components by 3rd party => 3rd party performs tolerance analysis on entire system, which incorporates tolerancing data from the black boxed optical model
