Hi Xuanlun Huang,

Thank you for you post at our forum. I see that in one case you are plotting the simulated E data while in the other case you are getting the index numbers, hence his plot in this case looks a little bit stretched. You should note that neither plots (as is) show the true dimensions of the structure. For example in the second plot the x span and y span of the plot are similar in length, but in reality it's ~0.6um vs 10um... and if you change the size of the window the results appearance change as well. However, I agree that first plot is preferable, since it corresponds to length, while the second format is corresponding to the number of points and loses this information.

Kind Regards,

Niki
