Well, the title is prett self-explanatory : how to make a system thermal like the “Make Thermal” tool, using only the ZOS API ?

Since I could not find a dedicated tool in the API, I guess it has to be done “manualy with the API” ?

Hi Mocquin, 

I don’t think the Make Thermal tool has been hooked up to the ZOS-API yet.  However, there is a sample code that shows how to manually implement this tool.  

Please refer to Example 18 under the Documents\Zemax\ZOS-API Sample Code and your preferred language.
