Are you dealing with flat glass only or is it parabolic or other shape?

Proe Engineer design module has a device called skeleton that can define the mirror shape and the rays traced. This is very powerful and needs knowledge of proengineer and optics.

There is an optical program called ZEMAX - here you need good knowledge of optics to be able to use it to full advantage.

If it is flat mirrors I would think EXCEL sheet may be sufficient.
