Automated Analysis and Optimization of Multi-Physics + Optics (STOP) Leveraging Machine Learning

Structural, thermal, optical perfomance analysis (STOP) is essential to model as-built performance in critical designs. However, these workflows can be cumbersome and lengthy due to complex data exchange between multiple physics solvers. This can make analysis, optimization, and tolerancing intractable.

Overview

In this workshop, we will leverage Ansys optiSLang to automate an optomechanical workflow by coupling Ansys Mechanical & Ansys Zemax for analysis of non-uniform deformation and temperature distributions affecting the optical performance. We will also explore how we can leverage training "meta-models" to reduce the computation necessary for optimization/tolerancing by orders of magnitude.

 

What Attendees Will Learn

  • Introduce preparing/parameterizing an Ansys Mechanical model for export to Zemax
  • Learn how to import Mechanical FEA data into Zemax STAR and perform STOP analysis
  • Understand STAR data loading with the Zemax ZOS-API
  • Automate the data exchange between Mechanical and Zemax using Ansys optiSLang
  • Explore features in Ansys optiSLang including optimization, robustness analysis, and training meta-models
