Reply To: Lumerical Python API with newest Linux version 8.6

@Minkyu,

Does the new operating system have all the required libraries to run Ansys Lumerical?

Did you update your environment to the new install path?

How are you running the script? Directly from the Terminal/CLI or using a job scheduler? Or from the CAD/GUI >> Script file editor window with Python Integration = "active" as shown in the image? 

Running the 1 liner script, "lumapi.FDTD(filename="test.fsp")" will simply open and close the FDTD CAD window. 

Try the script below on your new system and see if it runs and a new simulation, "testapi.fsp" is created. 

import lumapi
fdtd = lumapi.FDTD()
fdtd.addfdtd()
fdtd.addring()
fdtd.addmesh()
fdtd.save("testapi.fsp")
