  Running bandstructure simulation with FDTD v2023.R2.1.
  When running bandstructure analysis, always get the following error:
  Error: prompt line 53: Unable to access data in unallocated matrix
  Error: Result spectrum: variable not found.
  fs(1:size_fs(1),1) = fs_detailed(:,1);

  Hello Hany,
  Aplologies for the delayed response. Please let me know which device are you testing and are you using FDTD?
  Share maximum information possible.
  Thanks and regards

  I am running bandstructure simulation on a waveguide grating using FDTD. I am using the bandstructure analysis solver provided in the FDTD. I use the default values for t_start and max_band.
  To me, it seems that the analysis code has been changed from 2020 version to now. In previous version, I don't see this t_start and max_band parameters in the analysis setting of bandstructure. And I cannot find anywhere in Lumerical's website about how these parameters should be set.
