Course Overview

The Ansys Zemax Illumination & Stray Light training series is the recommended training for non-sequential mode and assumes a background in optics but not necessarily with Zemax OpticStudio.

Prerequisites

  • Knowledge of fundamental optical concepts.
  • Some experience in the use of OpticStudio is assumed (i.e. setting up sequential optical systems, changing system units, specifying wavelengths, etc.).
  • No experience in using Non-Sequential Mode is required.

Teaching Method

This is a self-paced course covering lectures, demonstrations, and workshops. A training certificate is provided to all attendees who complete the course.
