'zGetImageSimulation' calls the method 'zGetTextFile' which always returns -1 and thus fails. This is not because of a timeout but simply because image simulation (at least in the latest versions of OpticStudio) does not support text output. How could this be fixed?
An ugly workaround is to specify an output file in image simulation and use 'ln.zPushLens(1)' to update it. Once this is done, one can retrieve the image file from the 'Zemax\IMAFiles' folder.
