Does anyone know if there is any optical simulation products that work with NX ?

RE: Optical Simulation
There is ray traced rendering software which will faithfully if you model a lens faithfully enlarge objects placed behind it in the model. It is just used for making images though I don't know what other analysis or simulation that you may require. Other than that I could tell you.

RE: Optical Simulation
Ideally I'd like to pick an origin point and vector to create a bunch of rays then see how the interact with the surfaces of a lens bases on Snell's Laws.
At this stage a simple 2D check to see it the design concept is heading in the right direction is all I'm after.
There are commercial products that can do this and a lot more but most see to be for Catia or Solidworks
Once I'm happy the design is OK I can pass it on to one of our other designers for a full analysis, but that means translating into Catia and running a full blown analysis.
If I could cut down on the number of times we go through that process it would be good.
