ZEMAX 知识库说明!!.doc

ZEMAX 知识库说明知识库说明ZEMAX 知识库说明知识库说明在CODE V、ZEMAX、OSLO中，ZEMAX出道最晚。为什么最后ZEMAX在中国的占有率会有80%？我认为除了其界面符合WINDOWS标准、容易使用外，最重要的是ZEMAX公司在2000年后，在官方网站推出免费、非常很实用的知识库。此知识库是学习ZEMAX使用方法的最重要的途径。所有培训都不及此知识库。光学设计参考5 ?) v( _) H |* V3 ; o1 g9 U6 & 2 w7 $ 2 d同时，我认为这些软件要生存下来，除了价格、功能因素外，最重要的是要让人能免费的、最快速度的掌握这些软件的使用方法。否则，软件再好，没有人会使用，自然也没有人会买它。ZEMAX中文知识库+ a3 V+ l.
