Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide apparatus and method for creating a deterministic polishing process with respect to an optical surface. SOLUTION: The computerized method for calculating the amount of material removed from a workpiece during the polishing process in a polishing system includes receiving a pair of polishing characteristics; calculating a pair of kinematic characteristics with respect to a lap and the workpiece; calculating an exposure time with respect to a couple of lap points; calculating friction force between the lap and the workpiece; calculating inclination between the lap and the workpiece; calculating pressure distribution between the lap and the workpiece; calculating cumulative pressure distribution between the lap and the workpice; and calculating the amount of material removed from the workpiece.
