Thanks for the quick reply.
I am aware of the problem you mentioned in the side note. I know that it is a periodic BC not a symmetric BC. That's why I said "I know that these sliced pieces will create anomalies but as the area of the section grows I believe it will yield a realistic result." in my previous message

Did you mean high number of edges per wavelength while saying "You may need to use very small edge min." If so, I tried from 1 to 1000
adddgtdsolver;
set("simulation time",100e-15);
set("auto shutoff min",shutoff);
set("edges per wavelength",1000);
But I always recieve the following error;
The program terminated due to an error: Failed to match periodic face.
However the same geometry runs on FDTD.

We also have problems while deactivating our licence (Deactivation failed with error code 6) We need to move it to a new PC. We sent an email (from @univ-poitiers.fr mail) Could you also check it?

Thanks!
Kind regards Refet
