We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Devika, it crashes at a different spot each time with no consistency. I've attempted to run a similar y-junction program, the inverse design, and it is crashing in the same way also at different spots. For some reason, the 3D FDTD runs fine without crashing but I cannot get the 2.5D varFDTD to complete an optimization run. I have also tried running the varFDTD ring resonator example, and the program crashes when trying to run both the nested parameter sweep and the Monte Carlo analysis. However, I have created a straight waveguide file to test the varFDTD solver, and it was able to complete a regular parameter sweep of y_span vs T. Any help you might have would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
