I vaguely remember reading about a job that required Open Cascade, to do this (designing optics for automotive applications), if that's what you're seeking. Company was called DBM Reflex in Laval, QC I'm sure other tools (ie. game engines) will also allow you to model all types of optical effects.

Game engines generally aren't able to model optical phenomena very well, but some rendering engines that use unbiased path tracing, especially if using spectral colours, can do so very well, to the point where they can be used in physics research. Some are guaranteed to tend towards the physically correct solution as long as the material functions are correct.
