Zemax, Ansys, and PADTIn 2021, Ansys acquired Zemax, the world’s number one optical simulation toolset and Zemax is now “An Ansys Company.” that is transitioning into the Ansys family. You will see a mixture of Ansys and Zemax branding as time goes by. Eventually, the product will be released under the Ansys brand. PADT is a Certified Ansys Elite Channel Partner that is certified to sell and support the entire Ansys optics and photonics offering, including OpticStudio. Initial connections between OpticStudio and Ansys Mechanical are already in place, and you will see further integration until it becomes part of the Ansys multiphysics capability.
Zemax OpticStudio’s intuitive user interface includes easy-to-learn tools and wizards, which enable efficient simulation and design of any optical system. With more than 200 field points you can set up even the most complex freeform and non-rotationally symmetric systems. Design high-confidence virtual prototypes with the only optical design software that can model everything from imaging optics to illumination, including stray light analysis.
OpticStudio includes a suite of optical engineering tools to analyze the performance of your system. In addition to the classic analysis functions, Zemax OpticStudio also offers Full-field Aberration analysis to improve freeform designs; contrast analysis for MTF optimization; and Image Simulation to produce photorealistic images of object scenes.
Optimize your system to meet manufacturing specificationsState-of-the-art optimization tools automatically improve the performance of optical designs based on user-defined constraints and design goals. This saves time by eliminating design iterations. Optimize for MTF up to 10x faster with Contrast Optimization – which removes multiple design and test steps inherent in older processes.
For years, the Monte Carlo tolerance analysis in Zemax OpticStudio has been the gold standard for simulating how designs perform in the real world. More optical research papers rely on OpticStudio to accurately simulate their designs than any other optical software. With OpticStudio, optical engineers are confident that their systems will meet the real-world performance demands of their customers.
Customize Zemax OpticStudio to suit your needsWith the ZOS-API, you can create standalone applications, build your own analyses, and control Zemax OpticStudio externally using C#, C++, MATLAB and Python. Zemax Programming Language (ZPL) enables you to write your own macros to automate repetitive processes. Custom DLLs allow creation of any surfaces, objects, sources, and scatter functions.
