CODE V Feature: Global Synthesis
Get your optical designs off to a great start. Use CODE V Global Synthesis to quickly create starting design options for you to pick from. You can also use it to confirm that the final design is the best one.
Every download and trial license of CODE V comes with Global Synthesis to help you start off on the right foot.
Solve design problems faster and more easily than with other approaches, such as genetic algorithms or simulated annealing. Find a solution in just a few minutes for smaller problems to a few hours or overnight for complex ones.
Solve complex problems with a large number of variables and many constraints, including zoom lenses. Get multiple solutions that all meet the required constraints.
Global Synthesis works in three easy steps.
Pick a point – any ray-traceable point. Pick your merit function and define your constraints (such as focal length, packaging, and distortion).
Have Global Synthesis start its search for possible designs. Global Synthesis will deliver many optimized solutions, all meeting your needs, and sometimes including one global minimum.
You can then select and analyze the most promising design and refine one or more to a final design. Global Synthesis may find a new and improved configuration, or it may verify that your original configuration was the best after all.
