A new release (UI+ V2.102 and V16.102) is available.
Upon completion of the installation of the current installer, you will find two applications in your SYNOPSYS™ folder and two shortcuts on your desktop. You can choose which one to use based on your own preference.
The Classic Edition (V16.102) provides you access to the powerful and long trusted SYNOPSYS™ Lens Design Software. In the Ui-Plus Edition (V2.102), we integrate all the features of the Classic Edition and wrap around it with an enhanced, streamlined, and workflow-oriented User Interface with the goals to allow new users to kickstart their designs with ease.
Paid customers with a valid support contract will now access this download via our User Portal.

UI-Plus Edition (Version 2.102)
New Features and Enhancement :
1. New option is added to the Unusual Surface type 2 (USS 2) to select using the normal, absolute, or the negative absolute values of the sag in defining surface shapes. This feature will make it easier in creating certain surfaces, such as the stitched-optical-windows described in the Application Note, ‘Modeling 2-glass Stitched-Optical-Windows in SYNOPSYS’.
2. New Charts for the ‘Through-focus’ and ‘Over Field’ PSF analysis in the PSF menu of Image Analysis.
3. The algorithm for temperature dependent index calculations is updated, based on the Schott technical publication, TIE 19 Temperature Coefficient of Refractive Index, to improve accuracy when delta T is large. For more details, see the section, ‘Glass Catalog Indices and Temperatures’, in the Help Manual (User Manual for User Interface Plus > Surface Data Editors > Index Editor > Glass Table > Glass Catalog Indices and Temperatures).
4. Multi-configuration set up file (SSU1.dat) created by SSU or SPL is now stored in the working directory selected by the users (it was in the application folder). This allows the users to track the configurations easier if they are working with multiple working directories for different projects.
5. Updated the Zemax Zernike surface import so that the Zemax FZERNSAG surface type is converted correctly. See notes in the User Manual: User Manual for User Interface Plus > Inter-Operability > Import from Zemax.
6. The Help Manual Chapter on optimization variable operands are re-organized (see User Manual 10.2) and a summary list of operands is added so that users can easily find the meanings of the operands (see User Manual 10.2.1).
Bugs Fixed：
1. Restore multi-plot option using the CPLOT and QPLOT in the new GUI version. At most two curves can be superimposed into one graphics window.
2. Fix the problem that radius of curvature in Astoric surface was ignored when conic constant = -1.
3. Fix the problem that multi-color DIS curves were not display correctly.
4. Fix the problem that sagittal and tangential FCV curve labels were swapped.
5. Fix the following problems in the Spreadsheet:
a. Biradial conic surface data was not displayed correctly.
b. TDC data disappeared occasionally when the software focus was switched to a different window.
c. Thickness Solve Editor was not showing the selected option correctly.
d. Surface aperture changes entered in the Spreadsheet were not updated in the SketchPAD.
6. Corrected the reference temperatures for the following glasses in the Unusual.lib: SP3810 (20ᵒC), OKP1 (20ᵒC), EP5000 (20ᵒC), P5514ML (20ᵒC), K26R (25ᵒC), F52R (25ᵒC), E48R (25ᵒC)
