Before you finalize the design and build your camera system’s lens, you can predict what its performance will be using Synopsys Code V Optical Design Software.
A collection of Imatest test charts are bundled with Code V software, and you can use the “2D Image Simulation” feature to create a simiulated image with the degradations of your optical system. This image can then be analyzed in Imatest.
Note: this does not incorporate the effects of the Image Sensor.

Chapter 6 of the CODE V manual. It is titled “2D Image Simulation (IMS)”. You can access it easily by clicking on “Help” and then entering “ims chapter 6” in the search bar. Click on the link and you should open the chapter 6 should appear.You should have a page that looks like this:

ou You can click on any of the topics you like, but for an easy start, click on “IMS Output Examples” in the navigation window at left. I circled this link in red in the picture above. Once you click on “IMS Output Examples,” that will open to a series of 7 examples. These examples all use command mode to illustrate the 2D image simulation. However, all
All the functionality of IMS is easily accessed by clicking at the top of the CODE V screen on Analysis -> Diffraction -> 2D Image Simulation. As shown below.
