We had an idea to optimize shapes parameterized by low-degree polynomials (or other shapes: ellipsoids, etc.). We want to maximize irradiance across a complex mesh detector (STL) by modifying another complex, not-radially-symmetric, surface.



From what I saw, the TrueFreeForm object isn't supported in non-sequential mode, and the Freeform-Z object limits the shape to a cylinder-like shape that varies in diameter.



Can we accomplish our goal using built-in OpticStudio stuff that I haven't seen yet? Or will we need to write our own stuff that generates meshes and runs the optimization? We have the means I think, I just didn't want to jump in if you had already solved this problem :)
