Good day everyone, 

I have a problem concerning the speed of the raytrace (I think) when using a simple ZPL, that should be 

calculated before the raytrace. The ZPL’s look like this

SOLVEBEFORESTOP
p = PARM(0,0)
q = (p>123.8) * (0.7688*p*p + 0.035*p - 21) / 1000 - (p<=123.8) * 1/1.203
SOLVERETURN (q)

They take a single value and calculate a single value which is placed in the corresponding Lens Data cell.

My file has 9 Configuratins, which change the parameters used by the ZPL’s. 

When I don’t use the ZPL-Solves, the File runs fine. When I start using the 6 ZPL’s I need, the evaluation slows 

down significantly (20cycles / 8s down to 1cycle / 8s when optimizing). It is generally slow due to the inefficient use of Multi-Configurations and is not the problem I need help with tackling at the moment.

Can anyone tell me, why this slows Zemax down so significantly and how I can avoid this slowdown?

Best regards!
