You can either based on existing example or from scratch. YOu can use a cylinder as the core and a ring as the clading, or even two cylinders (circle). Since Lumerical uses mesh override the geometry https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034915233-Understanding-mesh-order-for-overlapping-objects you may first create the cladding, and change the core radius.

Other than TE mode, do you have other requirements?  I believe crearing a fiber to have TE mode is easy. But with other requirements you may need to spend time to optimize, or parameter sweep.
