I can find a lot of data for first surface thin films from UV to IR including oxidation over time. What I am looking for is the reflectivity over the visible spectrum from 0 to 90 degrees incidence for common Aluminum Alloys such as 2011 and 6061. I can already plug in a number of aluminum...
I was made aware of this freeware recently. Nice tool for confirming the scatter function in your lighting/raytrace software.

My PC was recently wiped clean and a new install of XP SP3 was completed. I had saved my old "C" for my SW settings and had used that data as my "Save SW Settings" backup. I have since reinstalled SW08 SP4.0 and all is dandy except for a Hole Wizard error "cannot find database swbrowser.mdb". I...
I am detailing a casting (although I'd rather be chewing on aluminum foil) and one of the filleted edges shows up rather funky in the drawing. It is smooth in the model but shows as this glitchy line in the top and front views. The fillet is on the edge of an extruded cut that passes through a...
I recall this coming up in a previous post but I cannot find the thread. I am trying to cut a profile from a solid and using a surface revolve as the termination for the cut. SW allows me to select the surface but when the cut is made it is to an another point in the model.
Apparently it is not...
I have been having problems with assembly files that open fine sometimes and other times open in a low resolution or cause SW to crash. None of the problems are consistant from file to file nor do they always appear in the same files. I can open an assembly that looks low rez and then open a...
I've noticed that most requests for help with ZEMAX go without response. My associate uses ZEMAX here and he tells me that a majority of these questions can be answered via their website http://www.zemax.com
If you have a current subscription you can also call a support tech.

SW2007...
This is the second time for this - After editing a part, saving and exiting to return to the assembly, a message stating that there is a part in roll back and the assembly is no longer accessible comes up. Sure enough, the assembly isn't accessible. Niether are the parts, or any save, close...
What is the best set up for optimizing a system to run in OpenGL? I am running SW2007 in OpenGL because the OptisWorks raytrace software add in requires it. Aside from the Realview graphics not being available I'm not sure of what I might be missing. I've searched for previous threads about...
Posted this in the SW forum and I'm not getting the response I had hoped for, thought I'd try here:
I am using OptisWorks ray trace software (OWLM1) within SolidWorks and it has been an excellent tool. Is anyone else out there using this software? I would like to be able to model a GRIN...
I am using OptisWorks ray trace software (OWLM1) within SolidWorks and it has been an excellent tool. Is anyone else out there using this software? I would like to be able to model a GRIN material lens without upgrading my software. Approximating the performance with curved surfaces has been...
