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.

The error message indicates that the simulation file was created on a different machine/version which is not compatible or supported by the version of Lumerical FDTD you are using. The issue seems to be specific to your simulation file/model. 

  • Which vesion of Lumerical are you using? Send a screenshot of the Lumerical > About page. 
  • What is the operating system of the machine you are running on? 
  • Did you create the simulation file on the same version/machine? 
  • Is the simulation file from our website, Application Gallery (Apps)? 
  • Does this happen to all simulation files e.g. examples from our website, Application Gallery (Apps)?
