Hi, I noticed that at the interface between the two glasses, the refraction is not correctly calculated. It seems to me that the index of the second material is taken as 1 when calculating the refraction angle. As a test, I moved the two lenses apart such that an air gap exists between then. In tha...

Yes. There is a parameter MaxNrReflections in each ray. The default is 200.

Hope this helps for a little insight into pyrate. Hi Joha, thanks for your insight into pyrate. I will try to give an insight into the Optics workbench. As you see there is not much code. The main work is done in Ray.py The way it works is: - Create a line (ray) with infinite length - Find all inte...

The workshop is up to date on github?
On the website, it is noted that the last update was 15 days ago.
Thank you.

Yes, github is up to date

I fixed a little bug in Snells Law algorithm. If you are using lenses, please update the workbench ! Sorry for this.

@AeluVidy: This is a great enhancement for the Optics workbench. Please do a pull request when you are ready. I will merge it into the main branch then.

In the moment I have no plans for additional features, but everybody is invited to extend the workbench.

Do you plan to include any sort of evaluation plane to conclude how much 'light' is hitting e.g. a detector? Do you see any possibility to introduce some sort of beam profile (e.g. gaussian)? I do not know if this would also be possible with the distribution of the origin points of the beams. I gue...

...it would be good to have a single object for sun light which allows to move the complete bundle of rays. This is not possible visa the currently used group although it is possible to select all rays (includes alot scrolling) an change their position in the data view. I could combine all rays int...
