Ray File Source

A Ray File Source emits specific rays according to a pre-calculated source (a .ray file) that contains information regarding the position, direction and wavelength of each ray.

This section contains the following topics:

Creating a Ray File Source
The following procedure helps you define a Ray File Source to be used in a simulation.
Creating a Speos Pattern
The Speos Pattern allows you to create and orientate multiple instances of a same source file (Ray file source *.ray, *.tm25ray or Speos Lightbox *.SPEOSLightBox) so that you do not have to create the same source multiple times in Speos and overload the Speos tree and so its readability.
Understanding the Ray File Source Parameters
This page describes the parameters to set when creating a Ray File Source.
