Hi,

I am receiving the following error when running the Lumerical_project_to_setup_script.lsf on my project: 

Lumerical_project_to_setup_script;
Generating default property list....
Error: C:/Users/QPhotonics.3/Documents/Lumerical/project_to_script/Lumerical_project_to_json.lsfx line 353: queryuserprop requires a single structure or analysis group object to be selected

Has anyone else run into this and is there a known fix?

Thanks!

Alex

Hi Alexander,

The error seems to be due to queryuserprop script command. Are you providing the name of the single structure/analysis group whose properties you would like returned? Would you be able to share the line of code where you use this command?

Yes, thank you. I am running a script provided by Ansys here: https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500007185181-FDTD-Project-to-Script-Prototype . I am running this script on a completed tutorial simulation provided by Ansys here:

. It shows how to set up and run an FDTD simulation in Lumerical. I followed the tutorial and completed it successfully. Then when I run the Lumerical_project_to_setup_script.lsf script provided by ansys I receive the error I showed above.

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for sharing more information. I was able to replicate the issue. It is mentioned that the script is in prototype phase and might not work for all scenarios. I will look into this and get back to you.

Thanks, I am using a relatively new windows machine running windows 11.

Hi Alexander,

We have figured out the issue with the scripts. We are currently testing them and we will update the KB article very soon. I will inform you once it is uploaded. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Thank you Amrita. I am also very interested in using this useful script once it has been debugged. I encounter Alexander's same error with the project to setup script, this time, when trying to use it on the "mie_theory_2d.fsp" example (https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042703373).

By the way, this example is used for the Python API Tutorial (https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034416574-Using-the-Python-API-in-the-nanowire-application-example), but the Mie Theory project file name has been updated, so no longer matches the tutorial, and there is a file extension typo in the second line of the tutorial.
