We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Sathursan,

Thank you for contacting us. You may use certain clear functions to reduce the size of the simulation. For example, if you have mode expansion monitors in your simulation file, you can use the clearmodedata command to clear all the associated mode data. You can also try using other functions such as cleardcard or clearanalysis to see if that helps reduce the size of the simulation. I will suggest you to look at Lumerical's alphabetial list of script commands, you may find a number of commands starting with "clear" that might be helpful.

Regards,
Amrita
