Forum - Lumerical

: Users can now easily find resources that link Lumerical’s optical outputs with thermal (Ansys Lumerical HEAT) or electrical (Ansys Lumerical CHARGE) solvers for multiphysics analysis .

: For simulation results, Ansys tools typically use a " Quick Report " or "Create Report" feature to generate rectangular plots and S-parameter data directly from the software interface.

User: I'm simulating a 1D grating (period 500 nm, duty cycle 0.5, thickness 100 nm, Si on SiO₂). Plane wave source at normal incidence, wavelength range 400–800 nm. Transmission monitor placed after the structure. lumerical forum

: Most Lumerical discussions are found under the Photonics Category, which includes sub-tags for specific tools like FDTD, MODE, and CHARGE.

As PIC design becomes more complex, the forum is a hub for connecting device-level simulations (FDTD/MODE) to system-level circuits in , focusing on scattering parameters and circuit optimization. Active/Passive Device Simulation (CHARGE/HEAT) : Users can now easily find resources that

: Within the Ansys Learning Forum, Lumerical support is categorized under the Photonics section, where users can ask questions related to FDTD, MODE, and CHARGE.
