The relationship between material refractive index and temperature

      As shown in the above picture, I want to customize a Si material with refractive index that varies with temperature. After setting it this way, I used code to set the functional relationship between the refractive index and temperature of the Si material, and updated the refractive index properties. However, after running it, an error occurred and I couldn't find the reason. I hope you can help me answer this question

      I want to update the refractive index of my material after temperature changes to calculate simulations at different temperatures

      Dear Subscriber,

      It seems your Structure Group doesn’t have an 'index' property.
      Try applying your custom material to your objects and then change the 'simulation temperature' under the General tab of the solver. You can preview changes in the refractive index due to temperature variations before running the simulation using the Refractive index monitor.

      Best regards,
      Kirill
