Access to the simulation results data of Observation objects is a critical feature
required for layout sweep simulations and optimization of designed devices. During
the simulations, observation objects collect time domain data. The time domain data
are stored in the Analyzer file. The OptiFDTD Analyzer provides all tools necessary
for post-simulation analysis of the results. However, this requires manual interaction
with the application. In order to provide the means for automated processing of the
simulation results, VBScript interfaces have been designed, which access the
required data. For more information, see “Power Transmittance Calculations –
Observation Line” of the VBScript Reference Guide for a description and usage
details for the VBScript functions and interface.
