Operating reference for each tool: what every input does, what every plot shows, and where every pinned number came from.
Looking for the physics instead of the controls? The Academy tutorials explain how each effect works, with interactive widgets.
The TMM engine and its conventions, coherent and incoherent layers, every material with its cited source, all eight analysis tabs, CSV and share-link semantics, and the model’s limits in full.
Every input and preset with its pinned value and provenance, the four plot tabs, the κ²(λ) splitter model, the RF bandwidth model, CSV columns, and the full-form caveats.
Geometry and material inputs, the EIM and full-vectorial FDE engines, every tab, the vs-Wavelength sweeps and their y-quantities, the bend-loss model, and the EIM accuracy caveats in full.
The scene editor and every element, source and detector type, the non-sequential Monte Carlo engine and where its error bars come from, the energy ledger, ghost splitting and scatter, all nine presets with their analytic anchors, CSV columns and share links, and the model’s limits in full.
Every sign and unit convention the numbers read against, the 399-glass catalog with its vintages and legacy aliases, spot diagrams through MTF, ghost images, multiple configurations, thermal analysis, the optimizer’s merit function and the tolerance model, .zmx and .seq import and export, and the model’s limits in full.
Saving designs and what a save contains, auto-save and crash recovery, version history and restore, folders, tags, notes and search, the three exports, your own materials, your settings, and exactly what still works if your subscription lapses or a free trial of Plus ends.
