OpticStudio 19.4

OpticStudio is optical and illumination design software used to simulate virtually any system that interacts with light. It provides a complete suite of analyses to determine how a designed system performs. If performance needs to be improved, sophisticated optimization algorithms put the full power of your multi-core computer to the task. Before a design is ready to be fabricated, simulate the effects of fabrication and assembly errors using extensive tolerancing capabilities. Common applications include cameras, telescopes, microscopes, endoscopes, lasers, fiber couplers, heads-up displays, automobile headlights, street lights, and many others. Customers span the gamut of advanced technology industries including defense/aerospace, biomedical, automotive, consumer electronics, machine vision, and more.

19.4 Release Notes May 14th, 2019 1USABILITY1.1NEW LICENSE MANAGER (ALL EDITIONS) Easily receive, activate, and transfer your licenses OpticStudio 19.4 will launch with a new License Manager that greatly improves the process of activating, transferring, managing, and troubleshooting licenses.

GEOMETRIC IMAGE ANALYSIS IS NOW SUPPORTED USING THE ZOS-API(PROFESSIONAL AND PREMIUM EDITIONS) Fully define settings and access results of the Geometric Image Analysis using the ZOS-API When using the ZOS-API, you can now view and change settings for the Geometric Image Analysis (see Figure 2.5.a), as well as directly retrieve the results.
ADDING A USER DEFINED RANDOM SEED VALUE IS NOW SUPPORTED USING THE ZOS-API(PROFESSIONAL AND PREMIUM EDITIONS) Perform identical raytraces by using the same random seed using the ZOS-API It is often important for users to perform identical raytraces during the design and optimization process, and one method to do this is to ensure that the seed used for randomization is the same for each trace. This functionality is now available in the ZOS-API and an example can be seen in Figure 2.6.a.
