The glass column of the Non-sequential Component surface is also used to define the 'background' material and index of refraction of the media in which NSC objects are placed. Please also note that when defining the Non-Sequential Component material, this is what you are doing (from the Help File): Let me know if this is clear or if you have further questions on the topic. This sends the Exit Port on the other side of the lens and allows the rays to be transmitted. To avoid this issue, I’ve increased the Z Position of the Exit Port using the parameter Exit Loc Z to 25 in my example. It means the rays entre the Non-Sequential Component, but they exit even before reaching the CAD file, and are simply terminated. As you can see, the Exit Port is the orange surface and is located even before the *.IGES file. My trick is to increase the Semi-Diameter of the surface after the Non-Sequential Component and to toggle the Draw Ports? between 0 and 2 to see where the Exit Port is. If you set the Draw Ports? to 0 (default) it doesn’t display any port, but if you set it to 2, it’ll show the Exit Port only. In short, I use the Draw Ports? parameter of the Non-Sequential Component to display the Exit Port. Copying and pasting surfaces speeds up the modeling process and makes. This section of the Help File: The Setup Tab > Editors Group (Setup Tab) > Non-sequential Component Editor > Non-sequential Overview > NSC ray tracing in mixed mode (with entry and exit ports) gives a thorough description of the Entrance and Exit ports. SOLIDWORKS xShape is a freeform subdivision modeling app for designing complex shapes and surfaces like the wolf head shown. If the Exit Port isn’t setup correctly, it is most likely the cause of termination for your rays. The most important thing to adjust is the position of the Exit Port. The file is also attached to this post for your reference. Improve your teams productivity by working smarter and faster with the latest SOLIDWORKS CAD enhancements. Your lens looks like a TIR lens, I went ahead and downloaded an *.IGES model here, and I set it up in OpticStudio as follows: Explore the new CAD features and 3D modeling tools available with SOLIDWORKS 2024. Just one tip if you want to increase your chances of recieving an answer: try to give as much information as possible, and this includes uploading an example file or an *.IGES file that we could try with.
