Ansys Learning Forum Forums Discuss Simulation Photonics Topology Optimization Error Reply To: Topology Optimization Error

Hello,

According to Optimizable Geometry - Python API – Ansys Optics, one should work with FDTD for all topology optimizations. Therefore, I would first suggest that  you kindly try FDTD instead of varFDTD.

For further support, resolving the issue without the access to the file could be difficult. Debugging such issues with a specific file is beyond the scope of ALF. I recommend that  you can kinldy create a case in ACSS (https://customer.ansys.com/) to provide you proper support. To know more about ACSS,please use this link(https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/5609426062483-How-to-register-on-Ansys-Customer-Support-Space)
