Hi,

I have simulated plasmonic slots before and I have never seen this error message. Just want to confirm if the error message is "No physical structures found" or "No physical modes found"? With metals sometimes it can be a bit tricky to find the right modes. But I am not sure why it would say that there are no structures in the geometry. Can you share a screenshot of the entire view (including x-y, y-z, and z-x planes)

Regards,
Amrita
