Hello,

I have a test bench with a scanning laser passing through an optical setup.

I have the firing pattern of this laser and I wanna know what will be the impact of the laser firing pattern miss the target.

The idea is to do a tolerance analysis for each angle of the scanning but there are a lot of angles to do this tolerancing.

How can I do a tolerance analysis for a big set of tilts around X and Y?

Thank you,

Hello Narciso,

Without much thought, I would see three options:

- First define each scanning position as a configuration and run the tolerancing for each configuration.

- Another solution would be to simply tolerance the scanning angles with big tolerances (the whole range) and then run a lot of Monte Carlo. Then you can analyze the results. Not sure this solution is good.

- Finally and I think this is probably the best option. Run the tolerancing within a macro or ZOS-API. At each run, you can change the nominal scanning angle and re-reun the tolerancing. The advantage of programming language is that you can then retrieve results and make some extra calculations.

I guess it all depends on how big your scanning angle set is.
