Simplify complex optical designs with the 2026 R1 release of Ansys Zemax OpticStudio. Enhanced tools and seamless integrations make tolerancing, imaging, and cross-tool workflows faster, easier, and more reliable for real-world systems.
NEST simplifies optomechanical tolerancing with a visual, guided workflow for sequential systems. Key features include smart pivot presets, automatic operand insertion, real-time updates, and support for off-axis designs, enhancing precision while reducing setup complexity.
NSC imaging enhancements transform Non-Sequential Mode into a practical imaging tool, streamlining workflows with features like proper stops, quick focus, spot diagrams, and sequence grouping, removing long-standing friction in folded and complex systems.
ODX enhancements to Speos streamline workflows by enabling seamless integration of real designs, including prisms and Table Glasses, without losing accuracy. Former Code V users benefit from faster, smoother transitions to OpticStudio.
The NSC Quick Focus Feature simplifies detector positioning in Non-Sequential Mode. It automatically aligns detectors for focus, centering, and orientation using intended ray paths, saving setup time and preserving accuracy. With support for multi-wavelength systems and multiple sources, it’s perfect for tackling complex optical designs with confidence. Available in Premium and Enterprise.
The NSC Sequence Grouping feature simplifies management of large ray-path sets, allowing sequences to be grouped manually or automatically based on key optical and physical properties, with dynamic updates and range-based filtering for precise analysis. Available in Premium and Enterprise.
The NSC Spot Diagram feature, enables native spot diagram analysis in Non-Sequential Mode. This feature lets you evaluate image quality directly using rays traced along selected sequences and provides detailed reporting on RMS and geometric spot size, flux, and more. With seamless integration into the Sequence Selector and a new RSNC operand, optimization and analysis are more precise than ever. Available in Premium and Enterprise.
