ipkiss3.all.device_sim.LumericalEMESimulation

class ipkiss3.all.device_sim.LumericalEMESimulation

Class to setup Lumerical EME Simulation jobs using the MODE engine.

For the tutorial, please check Ansys Lumerical EME tutorial.

Parameters:
geometry: SimulationGeometry, required

The geometrical setup (objects, materials, …) we want to simulate

env: dict, optional

Environment variables to pass when launching the simulation.

lumerical_exe_path: ( str and String that contains only ISO/IEC 8859-1 (extended ASCII py3) or pure ASCII (py2) characters ), optional, *None allowed*

Path to the Lumerical executable. If not specified then IPKISS will attempt to find the executable using a heuristic.

safe_mode: ( ( bool, bool_ or int ) ), optional, *None allowed*

Launch Lumerical in safe mode. Only valid for Ansys Lumerical >= 2020.Default is False because safe mode disables writing to files (which we use to store the simulation results).

project_file_basename: str and String that contains only ISO/IEC 8859-1 (extended ASCII py3) or pure ASCII (py2) characters, optional

filename of Lumerical simulation without an extension eg. “my_new_lumerical_project”

project_folder: str and String that contains only ISO/IEC 8859-1 (extended ASCII py3) or pure ASCII (py2) characters, optional

Path to the Lumerical project files

headless: ( bool, bool_ or int ), optional

Don’t launch Lumerical’s user interface when calculating results

verbose: ( bool, bool_ or int ), optional

Log messages to the Lumerical console

solver_material_map: dict, optional

Mapping of ipkiss TECH.MATERIALS items onto names that represent a native material in a electromagnetic solver. If specified, this map is used to reuse the native materials in the solver. Default is empty, which means we use the information available from TECH.MATERIALS to create the different materials in the solver.

setup_macros: list and List with type restriction, allowed types: (<class ‘ipkiss3.simulation.device._simapi.Macro’>, <class ‘ipkiss3.simulation.device._simapi.MacroFile’>), optional

Tool-specific macros to run as part of the job setup.

outputs: list, optional

Outputs of the simulation.

monitors: list, optional

Monitors to capture the fields within a simulation

Other Parameters:
solver: str and String that contains only ISO/IEC 8859-1 (extended ASCII py3) or pure ASCII (py2) characters, locked

Engine used for the simulations

engine: locked

The engine to use with the solver
