The New VirtualLab Fusion 2026.2
VirtualLab Fusion 2026.2 strengthens practical optical engineering workflows, expands the available set of Optical Digital Twins, and improves everyday work in optical design, modeling, and analysis.
Compute once, use everywhere.
Surrogate model evaluation is expanded for metalens design, making it easier to inspect trained models, check valid parameter ranges, and use surrogate-based results transparently.
The Wavefront Phase Modifier Twin Family
The release also introduces the new Wavefront Phase Modifier twin family and adds aperture-capable variants for selected ideal plate components.
More Control. Better Workflows.
Several workflow and usability improvements make working with VirtualLab Fusion more transparent and robust. Region handling has been improved for geometry- and region-based modeling tasks. New global application settings give users more control over internet connection handling and global user interface customization via themes.
Improved Documentation and Terminology
It also refines public twin names and codes to improve terminology, consistency, and identification in the Optical Digital Twin Hub. For developers and advanced users, the new VLF Programming Reference adds improved navigation, search previews, dark mode support, and links to Microsoft .NET documentation.
