Hello,

There is a command prompt to sequentially run FDTD simulations, which is detailed in this link:

What would be a command prompt to sequentially run RCWA simulations, which are located in a given folder?

 

Thanks!

When there is only RCWA without FDTD, you can run RCWA the same way as the link.

Please try and let me know if you have questions.

Should I write this?

cd /{path_of_simulation_files}
/opt/lumerical/v242/bin/fdtd-run-local.sh -n 32 *.fsp

If I do it, I get an error. Here is the information from the log file: 

"All processes are communicating and ready to proceed to simulation...
Running fsp file: /opt/lumerical/v232/bin/fdtd-engine-mpich2nem -t 1 -nw RCWA_free_space_1.fsp
There is no FDTD simulation region saved in the fsp file. The simulation cannot proceed.
Error: parallel error, at least one process could not read the designated file. Process number: 0 had this error"

How do I need to modify the command line?

It seems currently you cannot run rcwa in this way. One suggestion is to use script file, with  run("RCWA");
