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 Shany,

Is there any chance you are using a polarization other than s or p? I believe the grating s parameters analysis group can only handle s and p-polarized sources. So, if the "polarization angle (degrees)" field in the plane wave source is anything other than 0 (p-polarized) and 90 (s-polarized) then the analysis group will most likely give you inaccurate results.
