Question I am having trouble defining the value of array elements when I dimension an array in CCL. What is the syntax for doing this? Synopsis Defining the value of array elements when dimensioning array Symptoms Perhaps the best way to approach this problem is by way of example: Let's assume that...
An Early Visibility Release of TracePro is now available to all licensed users with a current Maintenance and Support subscription.
Purpose This article describes the method to verify/compare the tilt angles after importing an OSLO Lens File into TracePro. OSLO uses traditional optical design tilt angles, and TracePro uses Euler angles, so the comparison of angle values is not direct. View Tilt Angle Values In OSLO: select...
Question "What are "vignetting factors" and how are they used?"
Tutorials interactively demonstrate how to perform specific operations with the software. Landscape Lens (Introductory Exercise) Classroom Demos (collection of one-page demos each for a single OSLO feature) Gaussian Beam and Fiber Coupling Tutorial Optimization Tutorial Using OSLO Premium ...
Current Issue - SolidWorks 2019 bug When an ACIS (.sat) file is exported from SolidWorks 2019 with the "Split periodic faces" option OFF, the CAD geometry is incorrect and results in TracePro raytrace errors.
Question I want to analyze my lens at different temperatures. I understand that one of the ways to do this is to define the lens as having more than one configuration and change the temperature in different configurations. But in the multi-configuration editor, the cell under "Item" does not accept...
Question "Which tools within TracePro are you aware of for the detection of vignetting? What is your strategy? One (clumsy) way which comes to my mind would be the following: check that the object plane (which is to be imaged) is really imaged by the system to the plane of observation by applying...
Question Is it possible to use OSLO for designing interferometers? Synopsis Using OSLO for interferometry Solution In an interferometer, the user designs two different optical paths or "arms" of the system. This is easily done by creating two configurations using skip surfaces in OSLO. The current...
Question I have applied a RepTile "bump-type" Property to a surface in my TracePro model. Why are the bumps still below the surface of the object?
