Remo De Suza
ParticipantHeloo all. This is Remo here. I am an undergraduate student.
I am facing a problem with my simulation results for Min BER and Quality factor. I try to simulate with almost same parameters every time and out of five times three times my results are different. Can you people help me in sorting out the issue. I have watched numerous videos available on youtube but it is not helping and it is quite frustrating. I hope you people to help me out and provide a solution to all this.
Thanks
Your Sincerely

Participanthi remoo de suza..
i think this is the problem of all the beginner in optisytem….follow the following steps for getting same results every time…
for some components like pseudorandom sequence generator, fiber, amplifier, apd or pin , or optical receiver, etc…etc..,there the parameter namely generate random seed,,,for each of those components…
now you need to untick it for each of the component individually…you will get same answer every time..
hope you got answer for your question

ParticipantHi Remo De Suza,
a convenient answer is already given by Mr. Umer Syed. I would further suggest you to take a more sequence length in the layout parameters. this will help you to get a better result and want to add that this sequence length should be a power of two.Regards,

ParticipantHi Dhiman. The problem is with the variation of the results not the results.
I get good results but the results are varying.
I think i must apply these changes to the simulation parameters. May be it will help me.
Thanks anyways. -

SpectatorHi remo de’suza sir..
I also happened to face the same problem. my results also vary at first time but then i also change the generate seed and untick it.. My results started becoming constant after that.. You should also do the same it will surely help you.With Regards

Thank you so much. Your views were very helpful indeed. I was a bit confused but then once i implemented the changes the results became very much constant. I must thank you for that.Thanks and regards

Aabid Baba
ParticipantHello Remo,
As far as your problem is concerned i think you should try disabling the random seed option in the layout parameters of every active component you use in your circuit design. It is common problem if you keep the ‘generate seed’ option enabled. And initially this problem would occur. I suggest you keep the seed option disabled most of the times unless and until it is your requirement. I hope this would help you and you will find it useful.

ParticipantHello Remo
As suggested by the forum members all you need to do is uncheck the random seed option in the characteristics of some components in which this option is present.. This is actually meant for designs that need to have components take the random calue every time. So when we need the value taken by component to be constant all we need to do is uncheck it and by default it upgrades the value randomly.. I hope your problem is addressed and answered..

ParticipantHello Remo DeSuza. Greetings from my side.
Firstly Welcome.
Secondly and more importantly which is your problem about variation in results may be because of generate seed parameter.
As suggested by other members you need to uncheck the option and your results will get stable to some extent definitely.
I hope this will be of great help.With Regards

Ranjeet Kumar
ParticipantHi Remo,
I agree to the points of Umar syed that the problem should be solved if we untick the generate random seed for each of the component individually. I don’t know why you didn’t agree to his points.
I am unable to understand your this comment”The problem is with the variation of the results not the results.”
Please explain what do you like to express.
Seeking your response.-

ParticipantHi Jojo mathew
why don’t you opt for the solution given by most of the members above.. and that is by clicking on all the components and in the characteristics section of various componenets you find an option called generate random seed.. all u need to do is uncheck that option and those components would stop generating random values.. that way you would get constant values from that component and hence the results won’t vary..
@remo.. you are welcome..

ParticipantHi Remo De Suza and Sahil Singh
i believe he has clearly mentioned that he is facing the same problem of variation of simulations results… since he has referred to comment of virender singh as in that virender had suggested of upgrading the optisystem version..and jojo has mentioned that he had tried that but not helped jojo… so i thought its the same random seed problem that he had to disable in order to get constant results…
