About Ansys Zemax OpticStudio STAR Module Training by CADIT

Training in the Structural, Thermal Analysis & Results (STAR) module of Ansys Zemax OpticStudio: integrating FEA data into optical models, absorbed optical power datasets, FEA data syntax, and analyzing structural and thermal deformation effects on optical performance.

Perfect for Optomechanical engineers linking FEA and optical analysis.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this training, you will be able to:
1. Generate datasets of absorbed optical power within an optical design.
2. Understand the syntax required for an FEA-generated dataset to use with STAR.
3. Incorporate FEA datasets into ray tracing simulations via STAR.
4. Analyze the optical design’s updated performance with structural and thermal deformation data to understand system sensitivities.
