How do I add two lenses to a model?

[mccoyn]

I would like to ray trace using two lens elements from the zemax files. I can't figure out how to do it. If I follow the "ThorLabs catalog lens example" it appears to make a model from a single lens. If I follow the "Triplet example", the lenses are specified directly as surfaces rather than using a zemax file.

I want to combine these two. Load two zemax files and combine them into one model. How can I do this?

There is a jupyter notebook repo called ray-optics-notebooks that has an example of what you're trying to do. It's called AddFromFile.ipynb. Let me know if you have further questions. Thanks, Mike

Thanks. That looks like a good set of examples. In my case, I think it wasn't able to get it to work because I left out the "sequences.gaps[0].thi = 1e10" line.
