Improvement

3.26.24 — KostaCLOUD Beta Release

  • Improved Optimization performance by 20x

  • Improved performance of Lens Table by 100x

  • Improved performance of loading 3D representations by 20x

  • Improved performance of ray trace setup overhead by 20%

  • Enhanced 3D rendering of UI to have more realistic shading

  • Improved system instantiation performance 3x by removing GRIN equation parsing for every optic, unless needed.

  • Improved ZMX export by improving sequentialization technology. It now supports the export of fields and wavelengths. Currently, it only supports axially symmetric systems.

  • Improved CAD export for IGES, STEP, and Parasolid generation times from seconds to ms.

  • Added Lens autoscaling by marginal ray height

  • Added ability to set percentage of mechanical aperture over marginal ray height

  • Added calculations for radiometric quantities and Étendue.

  • Now supports embedded and intersecting materials.

  • Now supports immersed media, i.e., added object space and image space materials such as water and anything else in the material catalog.

  • Added automatic lens outlines to see interfaces between media better.

  • Created profiling tools for the optimization of software performance.
