- I am unable to commen on the input file as the only thing in your attached zip file is a structural diagram.
- You are correct the OptiFDTD results directly from a simulation are near-field results. If you look in your installed programs you will find “OptiTools” which is a list of heper functions for use with the results from the product. Included there are a number of far-field calculators that will operate on the appropriate results files.
Shanjida,
The negative purely indicates that the direction of the power is along the negative direction along the normal of the observation area. In the case of an XY observation area power moving along +z (from left to right in the standard layout window) is positive and power moving along the -z (from right to left) is negative. The charts that show this have an check box which will show the absolute value which is typically what is used in publications provided direction is indicated through the figure caption.

Hello Ayan,
There should be no problem modelling those systems. Can you be more specific in what you are trying to model? i.e. do you have a paper reference that I can look at?

Hello Megha,
You are correct that the options available to set the input is amplitude and power. If you want to use intensity you would need to use the relationship of P = IA to scale the power to obtain the desired intensity.

Hello,
As you are having issues with uploading files, please submit an email to support@optiwave.com so that we can further diagnose what is going on. Additionally in your email please include the version of the product you are using and the status of any license you are using.

Hello Poonam,
Can you please provide further details such as the structure you are looking at modelling. Additionally do you have examples or demonstrations of what you are referring to by response time? Response of what.

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 ).

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.

Poonam,
I have confirmed with our IT team that this error is typically seen when a restart has not been completed after the installation of the product. Can you confirm whether or not you restarted the machine after installation.
