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 Chenxi,

These commands would work given that certain conditions are satisfied:

  1. The FDE plane (in which the Gaussian Beam is created) is same as the monitor plane. Here if the monitor and FDE are both z-normal, then the overlap script command should work. But if they are not in the same plane, you will get this error message.
  2. The wavelength at which the FDTD monitor data is generated must be the same as the wavelength of the Gaussian Beam.
  3. The size of the monitor and the size of the FDE region used to create the Gaussian beam must also be the same.

If these three conditions are satisfied, you should get the result as expected.

Please let me know if you continue to face issues.

Regards,
Amrita
