Hello Team,
I want to know the image formation reflected from the convex mirror as shown below, but I am having trouble with the image simulation program. Could you please help me?
My design is attached zipped file. Thank you.
Configuration: An image (20x20 m) is placed in front of a convex mirror (ROC = 400 mm, Diameter = 300 mm) at a distance of 10m. And I want to know the image reflected by the mirror.

I took a quick look at your model. Two observations. First, the thickness of the mirror surface should be negative. In general, the signs of all thickness following each mirror reflection incur a reversal.
Second, even if the thickness is changed to -200 mm, the system is not forming an image -- so the Image Simulation tool would not be expected to yield a meaningful result. An imaging system maps each point on the object to a point (or an approximate point depending on the degree of aberration) on the image surface.
The drawing in your initial post shows a camera. If that’s the case, you should add a lens as part of the camera. You could use a paraxial lens to do this. The system stop should then be located at the camera lens.
Regards,
Jeff

Is this what you said:
I can see the reflected image based on the above data.
