HOA Tests APIs

The Application Programming Interface (API) of HUD Optical Analysis allows you to create plugins. A plugin is a .dll file that contains your own test and validity criteria.

To get a full example of the API use, download the .Plugin

To create your own plugin, include the header file HOA_Plugin_Ansys.h (stored in the Plugin example) in your project and implement each function described in this section.

To install your plugin, copy your .dll file into the Plugins folder of the Speos installation folder:

• ..\Optical Products\Plugins on a server installation.
• %programdata%\Ansys\v2XX\Optical Products\Plugins\ on a local installation.
