Understanding the Specific Simulation Options for an Optical Design Exchange

The following page describes the specific settings of the Optical Design Exchange feature to be applied when running a simulation containing the feature.

Note: Texture options are not supported by the Optical Design Exchange Feature.

Meshing

With the meshing settings, you can lighten memory resources and accelerate simulation in specific cases. Meshing quality affects the simulation performances and the quality of the produced results, particularly when simulating optical systems.

For more information on the meshing, refer to the Meshing chapter.

Important: We recommend you to define at least the meshing parameters as follows. However, be aware that the meshing values need to be adapted to the optical system to be meshed.
  • Meshing sag mode = Fixed
  • Meshing sag value = 0.001 mm
  • Meshing step mode = Fixed
  • Meshing step value = 1 mm
  • Meshing angle = 12°
