FRED 2025
FRED 2025: The Integrated Platform for Complex Opto-Mechanical System Design FRED 2025 is a powerful, multidisciplinary optical engineering software that combines advanced ray tracing with CAD-like 3D modeling capabilities. It is uniquely designed for analyzing systems where optical performance is intimately tied to mechanical structure, thermal effects, and scatter—making it the preferred tool for tackling challenging problems in stray light analysis, illumination, laser systems, and precision optical assemblies. Core Function: A Unified Environment for Light & Geometry Its core strength is the seamless integration of optical ray tracing with detailed 3D mechanical geometry within a single model. This allows engineers to directly assess how mounts, baffles, housing structures, and surface imperfections affect optical performance and stray light. Key Functions: High-Fidelity...
