Hello there 

I am using Lumerical for the first time and am facing some issues like one among them is that I don't find the materials like ITO , P3HT-PCBM in Lumerical Heat whereas all these materials are present in material database of Lumerical FDTD . Is there any way to get these materials in Lumerical Heat ,

Yes, you can create new materials with known parameters. The material database has limited number of collections. Please refer to this link 

material parameters needed: https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034919093-Electrical-Thermal-material-models-in-CHARGE-HEAT-and-MQW 

using script:  https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034919233-Creating-and-modifying-thermal-materials-from-a-script

Thanks for answering this question! Is there no option just like "import" in Lumerical heat like we have in Lumerical FDTD ?
