Abstract
As optical and illumination systems increase in complexity, it is important that the tools used to design and analyze these systems provide better and more efficient methods for the engineer to correctly model the systems to achieve the most accurate results possible. Important considerations include better interoperability between different analytical tools sharing the total calculation as well as providing more robust interchange between the CAD and optical environments. Several new features in the Advanced Systems Analysis Program (ASAP) are directed at achieving these goals.
