Optical software, free download. Simple Software-restriction Policy A software policy makes a powerful addition to Microsoft Windows' malware protection. Optical Design Software for optical systems comprised of light sources, lenses, apertures, prisms, imagers. The optical system to analyze is defined in a normal Zemax lens file. I recommend you to use The original SYNOPSYS™ lens design program which is similar to the softwares you mentioned above, but it has its special and powerful features to make it unique, such as PSD III Algorithm, Dsearch&Zsearch.
Optical Design File Conversion OpTaliX offers comprehensive import and export routines to convert lens prescriptions from other optical design programs such as Code V, Oslo, ZEMAX, ASAP, Atmos, Modas Accos, Sigma2000 and WinLens. Conversion can be done in both ways, that is, from other programs (import) or to other programs (export). Harness the power of Zemax optics software. By harnessing the power of OpticStudio®, OpticsBuilder™, and OpticsViewer™, optical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers can speak the same language across the optical product development process.

OpTaliX offers comprehensive import and export routines to convert lens prescriptions from other optical design programs such as Code V, Oslo, ZEMAX, ASAP, Atmos, Modas Accos, Sigma2000 and WinLens. Conversion can be done in both ways, that is, from other programs (import) or to other programs (export). At present, WinLens files can only be imported.
The import/export capabilities of OpTaliX are comprehensive in a way that also advanced features like decenters, tilts, gradients, gratings, special apertures, etc are recognized and converted.
Note, however, that it is virtually impossible to convert ALL features offered by various optical design programs. Not only that features are implemented in a completely different manner because program philosophies are vastly divergent, the major problem is lack of documetation about the formats how design data are stored. To the extreme, some vendors are trying to obscure format details to the maximum possible extent. Quite often the only rescue out of this problem is by 'reverse engineering'. This is a tedious process. Another problem is that file formats are often changed without prior notice, for example if new features are added. This may lead to the situation that a feature that could be previously converted without problems now eventually leads to inappropriate conversion results. Despite all of these difficulties, OpTaliX attempts to recognize a maximum amount of commands and features stored in external lens design files.
Imported files can be viewed, analyzed and modified in all versions of OpTaliX, including OpTaliX-LT. Go to the download page to obtain your copy of OpTaliX-LT (30 days free, after this period registration is required).

Notes:Zemax Software
| 1 | Only the lens system title is converted (TIT command). |
| 2 | Since ZEMAX does not offer an 'afocal' mode, an ideal lens is added to the exported system. On import, the ideal lens is recognized and maintained. |
| 3 | Z-decenter are not supported by ZEMAX. A dummy surface is inserted to simulate Z-decenter. |
| 4 | Two additional surfaces are added on export to ZEMAX to approximate telecentric beams. |
| 5 | An additional 'coordinate break' surface is added on export to ZEMAX to exactly model tilted surfaces. |
| 6 | ATMOS and MODAS only recognize entrance pupil diameter, as defined by the first surface. |
| 7 | ATMOS and MODAS only support a maximum field angle in object space. |
| 8 | Toric surfaces are not supported by ATMOS and MODAS. |
| 9 | WinLens accepts only 5 wavelengths. |
| 10 | WinLens accepts only 4 zoom positions. |
