For example, the mechanics may influence the pivot point of a rotation or affect how lenses inside an assembly tilt and translate individually and as a group. The assembly item in QUADOA® can not only contain optical but also mechanical elements. This enables a straight forward modeling of an opto-mechanical system by directly copying the real-world structure. https://www.quadoa.com/videoportal/Quadoa_Mechanics_1080_2.mp4 20 yes https://www.quadoa.com/videoportal/img/ghost_camera_lens.png Sequential Real-Time Ghost Analysis of a camera lens The Multi-Sequential Ray Tracing capability of QUADOA® provides a huge advantage, through its application for sequential ghost analysis. QUADOA®'s Ghost Wizard allows to easily generate any relevant ghost sequences. The 3D View can visualize the ghost rays directly inside the model. The ghost analysis features allow to quickly identify critical surfaces and to use the information to optimize for a better stray light performance. Compared to non-sequential ray tracing, a huge gain in ray tracing speed can be achieved allowing to simulate more rays in a shorter amount of time. https://www.quadoa.com/videoportal/ghost_camera_lens.mp4 20 yes https://www.quadoa.com/videoportal/img/G.B.Baer_VirtMet.png Using QUADOA® Optical CAD for the simulation of form-measuring interferometers and other optical metrological instruments Using QUADOA® Optical CAD for the simulation of form-measuring interferometers and other optical metrological instruments https://www.quadoa.com/videoportal/G.B.Baer_VirtMet.mp4 1114 yes https://www.quadoa.com/videoportal/img/thumbnail_birefringent.png Polarization Capabilities of QUADOA® Optical CAD This presentation will give an overview of state of the art polarization features as well as some newly introduced unique features. https://www.quadoa.com/videoportal/Photonic_Days_Birefringent.mp4 1539 yes https://www.quadoa.com/videoportal/img/webinar_arora_poster.png Intro to QUADOA® Optical CAD This webinar shows the key features and comprehensive capabilities of QUADOA® Optical CAD.
