Welcome to KostaCLOUD Docs!

We are quite excited that you are here and now reading our documentation. KostaCLOUD has been developed with you, the user, in mind to ensure a smooth experience in developing optical designs.

First, we have a few things to discuss regarding our two different, interconnected User Interfaces (UIs):

  1. CLOUD Portal: This UI is dedicated to Project Management. It helps you organize, track, and manage all your optical design projects efficiently. With the CLOUD Portal, you can collaborate with your team, set permissions, and ensure your projects stay on track.

  2. KostaCLOUD Optical Design Software (ODS): This UI is focused on Simulation and Engineering Systems. It provides robust tools and features for simulating optical designs and engineering complex systems. KostaCLOUD ODS is designed to help you streamline your workflow, from initial design concepts to final simulations.

By integrating these two UIs, we aim to provide a comprehensive platform that supports every aspect of your optical design process. Explore the documentation to learn more about how to make the most of KostaCLOUD ODS and CLOUD Portal.
