Hi everyone,

Apologies — I'm very new to OpticStudio, so this might be a fairly basic question.

I've inserted a lens into my setup and would like to model the beam size as a function of propagation distance. I assumed the 1D Universal Plotting tool would be the right way to do this, but it's currently greyed out, and I can't seem to figure out how to enable it.

I'm using Zemax OpticStudio 2025 R1.00 (Student version).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Community.

Are you able to share your file with us?

Maybe it is a limitation of the Student Version?

Take care,

@David.Nguyen Sure thing! I had feared that may have been the case with the student version. Here’s hoping that it is an error on my end…Thanks!

Interestingly enough, my 2024 R1.02 crashes when opening your file and then somehow manages to open another instance with your data.

But it seems to be working for me.

So, maybe it is indeed a limitation of the Student Version.

You also have the Analyze..Rays & Spots..Through Focus Spot Diagram that might help, although its probably not what you are looking for (its not based on Paraxial Gaussian Beam).

Take care,

 

David
