Workbench to integrate pyoptools with freecad
Workbench to integrate pyoptools with freecad, that means basically optics ray tracing capabilities for FreeCAD.
Requirements
It requires a working FreeCAD with python3 support, and pyoptools installation for python3.
Linux Installation
Clone directly the git into the Mod dir in your FreeCAD root directory, that usually means cloning into ~/.FreeCAD/Mod directory.
After that you just select the “pyOpTools” workbench in FreeCAD in the usual way. As seen in the following screenshot
Small Instructions
Please have in mind that this is a work in progress, so it may change radically some day, and your simulations may not run anymore.
The idea behind this workbench is to be able to simulate (by raytracing) optical systems. To do so, you need to build the
