      I have about a hundred sequentially named FDTD analysis files ExampleFDTD-00*.fda
      Is there any way to do a batch export on these analysis files, so that I don’t have to open each one individually with the analyzer and export it manually?

      Best regards

      Hello Timothy,

      Using VBScript within the designer as part of the simulation setup you can configure the product to export data as simulation sweeps are completed. You will find commands in the “VB Scripting Reference Manual” that is linked to within the “Help Topics” in the Help Menu. However, this must be done at the design stage. There is not a way to batch export after the simulations are complete.

      Which observers do you have and what data are you looking to export.

      This is the Macro I am using. I am trying to do a quasi 1-D simulation for a material. I have 1 continuous sinusoidal wave and 3 observation points. 1 behind the EM source, 1 between the EM source and the material, and 1 inside the material.

      I would like to repeat this simulation for several wavelengths and retrieve the electric field amplitude over time for all 3 observation points

      The command you are looking for is in the VBScript manual and it is GetTimeSeries( String fieldcomponent ) so to export the Ex field for “InsideMaterial” as “InsideMaterial_Ex_#.f2d” where the # is the iteration number then you would need to place the following in your for loop after the ParamMgr.Simulate call

      Set inside_data = InsideMaterial.GetTimeSeries ( “Ex” )
      inside_data.WriteF2D (“InsideMaterial_Ex_” & x & “.f2d”

      You would need to repeat that line for each observation point / field component combination you need.

      Please note it is advised to put a wait command after the simulate before any processing or restarting the loop. So right after the ParamMgr.Simulate you should have a WGMgr.Sleep( 50 ).
