Ansys Optics Materials

Ansys is building the most comprehensive and accurate optical material database on the market and working with community material vendors to do it. If you manufacture or supply optical materials, partnering with us helps expand your visibility, support our users, and accelerate design innovation. 

How it Works

A simple four-step process to get your materials into our database:

Contact Us

Reach out to us with basic information about your materials (refractive index, type, wavelength range, etc)

Measure or Share Data

Provide your own measured data, or work with a third party lab. We’ve compiled a list of trusted partners.

Review and Integration

We’ll review the submission, collaborate with you as needed, and integrate the data into the Ansys material catalog.

Catalog Update

Once approved, your material will be available in Ansys optical tools and searchable by thousands of simulation engineers worldwide.

FAQs

  1. Navigate your web browser to the Ansys Download Center 
  2. Login to the Ansys Download Center with your UserID and password 
  3. Click Current Release in the left panel  
  4. In the right panel, click the Primary Packages (Commercial & Academic Packages) dropdown 
  5. Under the Optical section, click Speos Libraries 
  6. When the download is complete, unzip the downloaded file 
  7. In the SPEOSLIBRARIES_202XRX_WINX64 folder, run setup.exe.  
  8. Follow the installer’s directions for the Speos Libraries. Once the installation is complete, you’re now ready to access the Speos Extended Optical Library

Ansys currently accepts bulk material data and BRDF/BSDF data that can be featured in the material catalogs of Ansys Optics Products. 

Ansys works with vendors to provide material information to the community with minimal modification. In instances where an error is found, the vendor will be notified to make the recommended corrections. New or updated catalogs will be shared in the next upcoming release.
