Zemax Tool: Multi-File Analysis - Field Curvature

Zemax Tool: Multi-File Analysis - Field Curvature

Efficiently analyze field curvature across multiple Zemax OpticStudio files

Understanding field curvature behavior across multiple optical designs is essential for performance evaluation and optimization. Multi-File Analysis – Field Curvature streamlines this process by extracting field curvature data from multiple Zemax OpticStudio files (.zmx and .zos), displaying the results graphically, and saving them for further analysis.

Key Features:

Batch Processing: Analyze multiple optical designs in a single workflow.

Distortion Data Extraction: Automatically reads distortion values from Zemax files.

Graphical Visualization:  Displays distortion trends through intuitive plots.

Data Export: Saves extracted values for deeper evaluation and reporting.

MATLAB Integration: Summary statistics are presented directly in the MATLAB command window.


With this tool, optical engineers can efficiently assess distortion variations across multiple designs, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions to optimize optical performance.

Looking for additional functionality? We offer free customization. Whether you need specific plots, analysis features, or other enhancements, we’ll tailor this tool to your requirements—at no extra development cost.
