Cloud native EDA tools & pre-optimized hardware platforms
The new capabilities in CODE V version 2023.03 improve design workflows, from surface input to design export. The release includes the SagFit utility, which converts and fits surfaces more quickly and intuitively than ever before. It provides better optimization assistance and increases modeling design speed. It also includes enhanced interoperability with LightTools to easily simulate optical systems that contain imaging and non-imaging components.
Read on to learn how the latest features in CODE V can increase your productivity and help you design better optical systems faster.
If you have measured sag data or CAD surfaces, you can use the new SagFit Utility to fit the surface to a native CODE V surface. Using native CODE V surfaces gives you additional flexibility and control to optimize your design. Here’s how it works in three easy steps:

The CODE V Example Model Library is a new resource to help you quickly learn how to use specific features in CODE V.
The library includes examples that cover a range of key CODE V features, including Global Synthesis for global optimization, Beam Synthesis Propagation to analyze diffraction-related characteristics, and SpecBuilder for setting up lens system specifications.
Each example model has documentation that describes the model, the features you will learn, and how to step through the example. Many examples include one or more sequence files that can execute the steps for you. You can open a sequence file to examine its Macro-PLUS code and run it to see the results.

We plan to grow this library with each release of CODE V — look for more examples to come soon!

The prior release of CODE V introduced the option to store constraint information from an optimization in the CODE V Worksheet Buffer.
The CODE V 2023.03 release adds the List Constraint Data macro that filters and sorts this constraint information. This can make it easier to understand the impact of active and weighted design constraints on system optimization.

Several fabrication support macros in CODE V have been enhanced to let you generate and plot data only over the defined aperture region. The updated macros include:
This enhancement also honors the lens Apertures Used (CA) setting.

Under-the-hood updates in this release facilitate faster execution of environmental analysis macros as well macros working on models with large numbers of pickups.
In addition, a new keyword, ABS, is available for the index of refraction database item, IND. When the ABS keyword is included, it returns the absolute value of the index, rather than the signed index.
The help system in CODE V has been revamped for the 2023.03 release. The help system now uses the default installed browser to display help topics and provide easy access to all information in the CODE V reference manuals.
The help is still installed with CODE V, so no internet connection is necessary. As in previous releases, you can access the help in CODE V by going to the Help menu, pressing the F1 key on your keyboard, or clicking a Help button in the CODE V interface.

This release includes enhancements to interoperability with LightTools to perform stray light analysis from your CODE V lens. You can export encrypted thin film coatings and more robust apertures in the optical system file.
Additionally, you can export lenses with hole apertures, and they will display in LightTools as holes on the lens surface that can be manipulated in the 3D Design view or the System Navigator.

CODE V 2023.03 supports two licensing options: Legacy Licensing and 六合彩直播开奖 Common Licensing (SCL).
Most customers will continue using Legacy Licensing, which is the same type of licensing used in previous releases. If you will use the same Host ID as previous releases, choose Legacy Licensing.
Your 六合彩直播开奖 Optical Design 六合彩直播开奖 representative will contact your company representative if you need to use SCL licensing.
CODE V 2023.03 is available now. Customers with a current maintenance agreement can download this version from the 六合彩直播开奖 website using their account, or obtain the software from their local distributor.
If you would like to try CODE V, submit a request to set up a 30-day evaluation.
