Summer Training

June 24-26, 2019 - Pasadena, CA

Fall Training

September 24-26, 2019 - Marlborough, MA

This course covers the basics on modeling, analyzing, optimizing, and tolerancing image-forming optical systems using CODE V, including hands-on workshops.

It assumes familiarity with optics concepts and terminology.

By the end of the course, you will be able to do the following:

Model an optical system given its design parameters
Evaluate the system to determine its performance
Optimize the system to improve its quality
Evaluate the manufacturability of the final design

Classes are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., except on the last day, when class ends at 4:30 p.m. Hands-on workshops are held throughout the day.

Attendees are required to bring their own laptop. For additional information, please see the CODE V hardware/operating system requirements.

It is highly recommended to have the CODE V software installed before attending the class. Please email codev_support@synopsys.com for help on setting up the laptop before the first day of class.
