Speos Knowledge Base

Ansys Speos is an advanced optical design and simulation software tool for simulating and optimizing optical system performance. This tool is used for cutting significant time and expense from the design cycle, while fueling innovation for advanced applications such as AR/VR, head-updisplays, cell phone cameras, vehicle lighting and autonomous vehicles. In the Speos Knowledge category, you will find some product-specific tutorials which are supplemented by our full-length ALH courses, and our in-depth App Gallery examples. Links to those resources are available in the navigation at the top of this page.
