Harold, You are correct. I'm looking to be able to check my mechanical design with optical elements to quantify the optical design and verify that it will give us the best results the first time. I've done a lot of research on these different softwares. I've com to the conclusion that...

Thank you all for your help. I will do some more investigating into the different softwares. I've contacted ASAP, Optisworks, TracePro, OptiCAD, Zemax, and Code V in order to get as much info as is possible on different packages so that we can make a decision based on what will work best for...

Does either of these softwares, or both, interface well with Solidworks?

We do it all with breadboard feasability testing. A design software is something that we just recently thought about purchasing.

My company is looking into purchasing an optical designing software. We will be looking for something that interfaces with Solidworks and can, most importantly, show ray traces so that we can optimize our opto-mechanical designs before "guessing" and just purchasing components. Does anyone...

THANK YOU, CorBlimeyLimey FOR THIS LINK.

I've been working in Solidworks for about 2 years now. I took 2 semesters of college courses in order to learn how to be an effective mechanical designer using Solidworks. I am trying to initiate an engineering change in my company in order to make process documentation more effective. Does...
