Split periodic faces - SolidWorks ACIS (.sat) file export option
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.
Using TEM command in multi-configurations
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...
Vignetting
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...
Using OSLO for interferometry
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...
