### For Mirror/Optics Optimization
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **New to Zernike?** Start with [ZERNIKE_FUNDAMENTALS.md](ZERNIKE_FUNDAMENTALS.md)
|
||
|
|
2. **Lateral support optimization?** Read [ZERNIKE_OPD_METHOD.md](ZERNIKE_OPD_METHOD.md) - **critical**
|
||
|
|
3. **Mid-spatial frequency analysis?** See SYS_16 (msf_zernike insight)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### For Structural Optimization
|
||

|
- Stress extraction: See `SYS_12_EXTRACTOR_LIBRARY.md` (E3, E12)
|
||
|
|
- Strain energy: See `SYS_12_EXTRACTOR_LIBRARY.md` (E13)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### For Thermal Analysis

## Contributing Physics Documentation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When adding new physics documentation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Naming**: Use `{TOPIC}_{SUBTOPIC}.md` format (e.g., `THERMAL_GRADIENTS.md`)
|
||
|
|
2. **Structure**: Follow the pattern in existing documents:
|
||
|
|
- Executive Summary
|
||
|
|
- Mathematical Formulation
|
||
|
|
- When This Matters
|
||
|
|
- Implementation Details
|
||
|
|
- Usage Guide
|
||
|
|
- Validation
|
||
|
|
3. **Cross-reference**: Update this index and related skill modules
|
||
|
|
4. **Link to code**: Reference the implementing extractors/insights
