An Online Short Course for Technical Professionals

Fall Training

November 9-11 and 16-18, 2020
9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (PDT)

This 6 day online short course covers the basics of 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

The course consists of six 3-hour sessions held Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays on two consecutive weeks. Classes begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m. each day, with breaks at appropriate times. The course uses Cisco WebEx Meetings web conferencing.

Attendees are required to provide their own laptop with the latest version of CODE V installed. For additional information, please see the CODE V hardware/operating system requirements.

CODE V software must be installed before attending the class. A download link to course materials will be provided prior to the class. Please email codev_support@synopsys.com for help on setting up the laptop before the first day of class or to verify that you can access WebEx Meetings.
