When Zemax has run a simulation that takes several hous to complete, it could be a nice feature if the results (raytacing, plots etc.) could be saved and later reloaded into Zemax for further view and comare to other simulations - without having to spend several hours to do the same simation again.

Hi Rene,


Are you using Include Calculated Data in Session File from System Explorer...Advanced?


It might make your files a lot bigger though.


Cheers,

Tough crowd! If you save your calculated data, it will make your files bigger than if you don't! 😎

Hello Rene! 


I think you have some good suggestions here already. Are you talking about non-sequential mode?


In non-sequential mode, you can save ZRD files and also save Detector Data and then replay them.
