Software for integrated optical design analysis

摘要

The Integrated Optical Design Analysis (IODA) program is a software tool being developed to support concurrent engineering design of complex optical systems. IODA provides seamless data fusion between thermal, structural, and optical models used to design the system. The software architecture was developed by reviewing current design processes and developing software to automate the existing procedures. IODA significantly reduces the design iteration cycle time and eliminates many potential sources of error.
