Hi,

I am doing ray tracing reflected at a TIR prism and faced a problem that beam stops at a certain surface as shown below. 

Any one can help to solve this ?

Dowon,

 

When I run into that kind of problem, it’s often one of two things:

  1. it can’t trace the rays into the next material
  2. somehow, that surface aperture got set to 0

I know this is unlikely to help, but I figured I’d share.

Hi Dowon,

 

Any chance you can share this design file with us? Not sure what is going on without further information from your system.

Take care,

 

David
