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,

I believe the symmteric and anti-symmetric BCs are not recognized by GPU at the moment. So, you should see the same results (same simulation volume) if you run a simulation with and without symmteric BCs on GPU. In other words, there is no advantage of using the symmetry conditions. 

But you should be able to see results (same as PML) when you use them. Would you be able to copy and paste the log file for both the cases on GPU here? The log file is stored in the same directory where the simulation file is stored. It has the name filename_p0.log.
