Input surface map (Surface Sag) to ZEMAX

Question

Hi all,
I am currently doing an optics project with some mechanical simulations.
We are trying to simulate the surface deformation with mechanical design software.
Then input the data to ZEMAX.
If I have a sag data like the attached,
could I input these data to get the surface in ZEMAX? Including radius of curvature and aspherical coefficients.
Thank you,
Raymond

Hi Raymond,Andrey is correct - the Grid Sag will let you input that data directly into OpticStudio as a surface. I have written a series of Knowledgebase articles about the Grid Sag surface. I think you will find the first two articles helpful:How to use the Grid Sag surface typeHow to write a Grid Sag DAT file programmaticallyLet us know if you have any other questions about this!Best,Allie

You can use Grid Sag surface to import data.
