System Tolerancing

Articles in this section will teach you how to use Ansys Zemax OpticStudio's built-in tolerancing tools. The tolerancing tools may be used to evaluate the manufacturability of a system and may be used to communicate with your manufacturer. The articles in this section will walk through how to define, apply, and interpret tolerances in OpticStudio.
