Simulation Software for simple optics
Simulation Software for simple optics
(OP)
Hi There!
I'm looking for a software to make simple optic simulations.
I have a plexiglass sheet and would like to simulate the output angle of a light beam depending of the geometry and input angle.
Do you know some software with which I could do this?
If there's a Shareware or Freeware, it'd be really nice.
Cheers!

Perhaps a reference for a spread sheet:

If so, perhaps you found the best software for predicting where light will exit a flat plane of plexiglass is a straight edge?
