      The error message indicates that the simulation file was created on a different machine/version which is not compatible or supported by the version of Lumerical FDTD you are using. The issue seems to be specific to your simulation file/model. 

      • Which vesion of Lumerical are you using? Send a screenshot of the Lumerical > About page. 
      • What is the operating system of the machine you are running on? 
      • Did you create the simulation file on the same version/machine? 
      • Is the simulation file from our website, Application Gallery (Apps)? 
      • Does this happen to all simulation files e.g. examples from our website, Application Gallery (Apps)?
