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.

For the non-regular ring, you may need to use several different polygons; of different number of partial rings depending on the change of the geometry.  RIng object can have a start angle and stop angle.  Or if you can draw it using other software, you can save it to an image and import it.

Doping will need to be simulated by CHARGE. Once the carrier distribution is obtained, you can import it ar charge attribute, which has some built-in carrier-index conversion mechanism: Charge distribution to change in refractive index theory – Ansys Optics

The workflow is similar to the standard ring with doping. 

Please search online to find applicable examples as reference, and write a new post for each question new.
