You can automate optical design for multi-configuration zoom lenses by running the zoom_lens_design_agent.py script with ZOS-API. It handles automatic multi-configuration editor (MCE) setup and staged optimization to generate final designs.

Yes, automating Zemax OpticStudio requires the zospy package for ZOS-API access, with pythonnet as a fallback dependency. These libraries allow Python scripts to communicate directly with the optical design software.

Yes, you can design an 18-55mm F/1.4 zoom lens automatically by providing a JSON requirements file. The script applies custom profiles and automatic optimization to generate the optical system.

The best way to set up staged optimization for custom lens profiles is using the automated design loop provided by the Zemax ZOS-API script. It parses requirements, applies custom profiles, and executes staged optimization sequentially.

Yes, this Zemax ZOS-API automation applies to optical system analysis and manufacturing validation. It manages the entire design loop from initial requirement parsing to final design generation for these use cases.

Pythonnet serves as a fallback to enable Python interactions with the .NET based Zemax ZOS-API when primary connectivity methods are unavailable. It ensures the automation scripts maintain access to core OpticStudio functions.
