Hi I am trying to run older scripts, and I get an error that "addfdtd is not a valid function or a variable name" -

is addfdtd removed from MODE 2021 R1 release?

I cannot find FDTD object under Simulation also, why is that?

Hi,
answering my own question - the error is due to improper project start - when running scripts with FDTD engine command (i.e. addfdtd) start the launcher and open a "New FDTD Project".
The error was due to my MODE application starting the default project with EME solver instead.

You are right that if you use script you will need to launch the proper project first. If you manually open a new project from "File", you will be able to open any solver from the launcher as the recent a few versions have this compacity.

CAN ANY ONE HELP ME HOW TO RUN IT?
