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.

It is just a warning, meaning some of the S parameters are not reciprocal, most likely due to numerical errors. You can either modify FDTD settings with finer mesh/long simulation time with smaller auto shutoff min/increase PML thickness or number of layers etc. Or you can also ignore it because such error can be minimized later if you do converging test. Also, make sure the port/monitor collects the mode power correctly, with sufficient size but not pick up some scattering power, if any.
