Optiwave software can be used in different industries and applications, including Fiber Optic Communication, Sensing, Pharma/Bio, Military & Satcom, Test & Measurement, Fundamental Research, Solar Panels, Components / Devices, etc..
OptiSystem is a comprehensive software design suite that enables users to plan, test, and simulate optical links in the transmission layer of modern optical networks.
OptiSPICE is the first circuit design software for analysis of integrated circuits including interactions of optical and electronic components. It allows for the design and simulation of opto-electronic circuits at the transistor level, from laser drivers to transimpedance amplifiers, optical interconnects and electronic equalizers.
OptiFDTD is a powerful, highly integrated, and user friendly CAD environment that enables the design and simulation of advanced passive and non-linear photonic components.
OptiBPM is a comprehensive CAD environment used for the design of complex optical waveguides. Perform guiding, coupling, switching, splitting, multiplexing, and demultiplexing of optical signals in photonic devices.
The optimal design of a given optical communication system depends directly on the choice of fiber parameters. OptiFiber uses numerical mode solvers and other models specialized to fibers for calculating dispersion, losses, birefringence, and PMD.
Emerging as a de facto standard over the last decade, OptiGrating has delivered powerful and user friendly design software for modeling integrated and fiber optic devices that incorporate optical gratings.
Modal analysis is a pivotal component of modelling optical structures. OptiMode serves as a robust CAD platform for the design and modal analysis of waveguide structures.

If I understood you situation correctly, you designed two the same schemes on two different layouts. If, according to your question, you have two different sets of results, then the main reason can be the sequence generated and transmitted by PRBS in your schemes. You can check this by disabling random sequences from PRBS’s properties. You should be able to get the same results for both of your schemes after disabling.
By the way, I have just check my previous guess with my old version of OptiSystem. I have noticed that each single time (by default) the simulation runs a random value is used for noise and the bit sequence generator (PRBS). Hence, theses random settings should make the resulting BER vary from one run to another! However, if you start increasing bit sequence length the difference between simulations decreases and you receive similar results for all your runs.
I have the same issue, my colleagues told me one thing can influence is the performance of your computer I mean your ram or even your CPU, cause is because we are using beam propagation method. if you found a way to solve this matter please share, thanks.
If I may add: this should not be surprising. If you run a very short (= short bit sequence) BER test in the lab, you usually end up with different BERs every time…
Hello, I am agree with Ravil completly.Also Alessandro gave a good point,in general low bit sequence also cause this type of problem.Please visit the link given by abhishek as Damian gave good points to disable the random seed and other parameters to get same results every time from same system.
Now that I also discovered this issue, I thinkthat it is better to disable by default the Random Seed noise…I remember in the past many simulations made at small steps of OSNR where the BER did not have a monotonic relation with OSNR and I wondered why!
