With 2024 R2, Ansys Zemax OpticStudio delivers a comprehensive suite of features enhancing the support for multiphysics simulation, the design for manufacturing real optical systems, and improved efficiency, speed, and scalability.
Enables users to account for real-world impacts of stray light on system performance through streamlined data exchange from Zemax to Speos and enhancements to sequence-based path detection in Speos.
Four new tolerance operands are provided for accurate tolerancing of surface form tolerances 3/A(B/C) per ISO 10110-5 drawing standards, enabling users to account for real-world impacts of manufacturing and fabrication errors.
FT MTF multithreading uses available CPU resources while ensuring that no CPU cores are left idle. It increases speed by processing multiple fields and wavelengths concurrently, reducing the overall computation time and increasing scalability by distributing workload tasks. Multithreading can handle increasing workloads by distributing tasks, making the system more scalable.
Ansys Zemax OpticStudio is the solution for designing components and subassemblies within complex, high-precision optical systems. Such systems address a variety of applications across several high-growth industries, from AR/VR to LIDAR, medical imaging to data communications, and more.
The Ansys Zemax OpticStudio is a powerful tool for optical engineers and designers to simulate, optimize, and validate their optical designs before physical prototypes are built. It helps save time and resources in the development of optical systems by allowing engineers to iterate and refine designs in a virtual environment.
To leverage the Ansys Zemax OpticStudio for multiphysics analysis requires the Ansys Zemax OpticStudio Enterprise license. The Ansys Zemax OpticStudio Enterprise license makes it simple to import structural, thermal, and refractive index data into OpticStudio workflows, yielding critical design insights, significant time savings, and new possibilities for system analysis.
