@leomodra Hi, I wanted to know more about this. Is there anyway I can contact you through email?

@davidbradley I have not seen a way, how to apply coatings on windows from the Type 56 lib... you have to create an own window in OPTICS with the same atributes. And then you can export it through WINDOW one time "plane" to check if it is like the standard glazing substrate. If its fine than lets go, for coating in OPTICS.

@davidbradley I have done this while compare results from normal windows to windows with 3M exterior window films. I had to create at first the window and the window with the film in OPTICS and then going trough WINDOW to write an DOE-2 Format, which you can save in the w7-lib_user.dat to import in the Type 56. Here are some links, which were helpfull for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC39Z8kU0Ws https://windows.lbl.gov/sites/default/files/software/WINDOW/WINDOW7UserManual.pdf --> 9.8 https://windows.lbl.gov/making-laminate-optics

Colleagues,

Does anyone have experience using OPTICS by LBNL to define a specialized coating and then exporting it to LBNL's WINDOW software so that it can be applied to a more standard glazing substrate and thereby used in Type56? I would welcome any thoughts or suggestions!
