Hi,
I’m working on mixed-mode model and I would like to optimize it - both sequential and non-sequential components.
Can anyone help me with this? Do you have any tips for mixed-mode?
Fabian

Dear Fabian,
The short answer is yes, you can optimize both components simultaneously. You’d simply need to define the needed object variables in the non-sequential editor for the non-sequential component, in addition to the surface variables in the sequential editor for the sequential part of your system.
You can also define constrains using dedicated non-sequential merit function operands like NPLT/NPGT (non sequential parameter less/greater than)
You can find detailed information about constraints on Non-sequential Object Data in the help section of OpticStudio :
The Optimize Tab (sequential ui mode) > Automatic Optimization Group > Merit Function Editor (automatic optimization group) > Optimization Operands by Category > Constraints on Non-sequential Object Data
Regarding tips and tricks, there are some valuable considerations and comments in the last section of this article :

I hope this helps,
Christophe

Dear Christophe,
Thank you, that was the information I missed while looking for optimization. It helps a lot.
Best wishes,
Fabian
