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 Guilin,

 The problem I was facing has been resolved. It seems I did not have to increase the bent simulation region too much. Inorder to check the fields, I had to check for individual parameter values instead of giving a sweep.

1) I noticed that the mode number keeps changing for a particular mode (for different bent radius). So, the plot obtained while sweeping the parameter contains loss values of different modes (not necessarily the mode of interest).

2) I tried 'lock mesh' option available in FEEM. It prevented the sweep from running successfully.

3) I used larger value in 'polynomial order' in mesh settings, and checked the meshing. It did not result in any change whichever value I chose.

I would also like to bring to your notice that in the example of bent waveguide in FEEM (https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409707153811-Bent-Waveguide-FEEM), the script "waveguide_bend_sweep.lsf" displays results in dB/cm (while the values are in SI unit).

Thank you.
