Scripted EME Simulation of WG with Multiple Curves

    • brianedw

      I'm attempting to simulate a waveguide with multiple curves and bends using the EME solver.  The goal is to achieve this from Python so that I can generate two versions of the GDS: one with curves for layout and one that has been "straightened" for the EME solver.  While the EME solver supports bends, it appears to be accessed through the "Custom Settings for Cell Group N" button.  I've attempted to access these several different ways without any luck.  Has anyone had any success accessing these via scripting, Python or otherwise?

      Hello,
      I will be happy to help you with your request.
      To have access the subcell settings through scripting I would suggest to use seteigensolver - Script command.

      select("::model::EME::cell_X");
      ?seteigensolver;
      seteigensolver('bend radius",r);

      I hope I helped.
      Regards
      Dimitris
