Reply To: Y branch optimization using PSO crashes during optimization

[Meagan Stewart]

Hi Devika, it crashes at a different spot each time with no consistency. I've attempted to run a similar y-junction program, the inverse design, and it is crashing in the same way also at different spots. For some reason, the 3D FDTD runs fine without crashing but I cannot get the 2.5D varFDTD to complete an optimization run. I have also tried running the varFDTD ring resonator example, and the program crashes when trying to run both the nested parameter sweep and the Monte Carlo analysis. However, I have created a straight waveguide file to test the varFDTD solver, and it was able to complete a regular parameter sweep of y_span vs T. Any help you might have would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
