Glass & Component Database

Look up glasses and components, then use them as references for later design and analysis.

Learn how to use WaveRay for Glass & Component Database with real, manually matched screenshots. This tutorial covers setup, execution, result interpretation and practical checks.

What this tutorial covers

Look up glasses and components, then use them as references for later design and analysis.

Before you start：You need access to the product and should ideally follow the tutorial using your own real parameters or data. The screenshots below were manually rematched to avoid the image/topic mismatches seen in the previous version.

Step-by-step workflow

1Open the module

Open Glass & Component Database from the tool tree. Confirm that the visible page really matches the tutorial topic before changing any settings.

2Configure the input

Prepare and check the glass or component entries you care about and the columns you want to compare.

3Run and watch the status

Browse the table, filter materials and compare refractive-index, dispersion or note fields. Watch the visible status, plot or log area while the workflow is running.

4Inspect the result

Pay special attention to tabular material/component information that supports design choices.

5Verify and iterate

This database is often a starting point for later design tasks, so confirm that the selected entry matches the optical model you build afterwards. Change one meaningful parameter and rerun so you can verify whether the output changes in the expected direction.

How to read the result

  • The main output of this workflow is tabular material/component information that supports design choices.
  • Read the result together with the exact inputs used for the run; a screenshot alone rarely tells the whole story.
  • This database is often a starting point for later design tasks, so confirm that the selected entry matches the optical model you build afterwards.

Troubleshooting & practical tips

  • If nothing changes, first confirm that the correct module is open.
  • If the output looks unrealistic, check units, field mapping and input scale first.
  • For comparisons, change one key parameter at a time whenever possible.
