Zemax and Ansys Collaborate to Enable Safer, Reliable Autonomous Vehicle Navigation

Optical sensors – including LiDAR, radar, visible and IR cameras – play a key role in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and are critical to pushing autonomous vehicles (AV) robustly and safely towards full level 5 autonomy.  Engineers responsible for designing these sensors need to ensure that they will operate in various environments that an AV will be subject to; to do so, engineers need to be able to quickly and accurately test, validate and iterate their optical designs.

Automatic conversion of optical designs into CAD parts accelerates manufacturability

As you may know, Zemax recently launched a new product called OpticsBuilder, which enables CAD users — such as mechanical engineers and optomechanical engineers — to develop better products more quickly and with greater design fidelity. OpticsBuilder does this by helping users convert optical designs more efficiently, analyze how their packaging impacts optical performance, and create optical drawings for export to manufacturing. In this blog post, we showcase one of the features that’s getting a lot of positive attention, namely the flawless conversion of lens design data from OpticStudio into native CAD parts in OpticsBuilder.
