OpTaliX Version 8.80

2014-05-04 00:51:27

New Features in version 8.80:

• In illumination analysis, an option was added to analyze angular intensity distribution, i.e. the relative intensity as a function of the emitted/received angle.

• Added a new tolerance parameter, now simulating rotationally symmetric aspheric surface perturbations. The symbolic name is SYM. This completes full simulation of surface tolerances according to the DIN/ISO 10110-5 standard. Note, the ISO 10110 surface nomenclature 3/ A (B,C) are represented in OpTaliX by the DLF (IRR,SYM) parameters.

• Tolerancing: The units for tilt tolerances (DLA, DLB, DLG) have been changed to minutes of arc. Previously these tolerances were defined in degree. Specifying tilt tolerances in arcminutes is more advantageous as it allows an easier and direct correspondance with tilt tolerances typically given on lens drawings. On restoring older files containing tolerance data in degrees, DLA, DLB, and DLG are automatically converted to arcmin.

• Menue item and shortcut (Strng-Alt-M) added to close all opened windows.

Bug Fixes in version 8.80:

• Tolerance data were not properly shifted in the tolerance editor on inserting or deleting surfaces.

• The program could crash on inserting a surface in a NSS environment.

• Out of place sections in the PDF manual corrected.

• Minor tweaks
