| Learn how to use Ansys Zemax OpticStudio STAR (Structural, Thermal, Analysis and Results) to incorporate Multiphysics simulation data into optical system analysis. This learning path covers workflows for STOP (Structural, Thermal, Optical Performance), SOFT (Structural, Optical, Fluids, Thermal), and Stress Birefringence analysis by importing FEA and CFD datasets such as surface deformation, temperature, stress, and refractive index distributions. Starting with STAR fundamentals and data import, it progresses to advanced applications including thermo-mechanical performance analysis, vibration effects, stress birefringence modelling, and integrated STOP/SOFT system-level studies. Estimated time to complete: 4-5 hours |
