Overview #

The FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section thoroughly addresses common issues encountered during software usage and provides detailed solutions to resolve them.

Software Simulation Issues #

Computing Resources #

• How to resolve insufficient memory for software simulation resources at runtime?
• How to use two computers to simulate the same project simultaneously and reduce simulation time?

Materials and Structures #

• Why does the refractive index distribution in multi-structured materials differ from the expected results?
• Fitting Sampled Data Material results in a noticeable error by default. How can I adjust the fitting parameters?

Source Settings #

• When using Port/Mode sources in project, why does the cross-sectional field in the simulation results not match the desired mode field?

Solver Settings and Simulation Stability #

• How to use Symmetric and Anti-Symmetric boundaries to reduce the simulation region? How to determine whether the set Symmetric and Anti-Symmetric boundaries are accurate?
• The FDTD simulation of dispersive materials diverges. How to avoid divergence?

Parameters Sweep and Queued Simulations #

• How to simultaneously perform parameter sweeps on multiple variables in a simulation project?
• How to set up queued simulations? That is, how to automatically run the next specified project after one simulation file finishes?
