Hi how to add user select mode  in FDTD port:

set('mode selection','user select');

set('number of field profile samples',2);

#set('select modes',1);

 

updateportmodes(2);

Hi,

Let's say you want to inject the first 5 modes, you can try the following line of code:

setnamed("FDTD::ports::port 1","selected mode numbers",[1,2,3,4,5]);

Hi,

I am trying to add to analysis group: This is what i wrote:

addport; # add port

##input source

set('name','In1');

set('x',0e-06);

set('y',0e-06);

set('y span',2e-06);

set('z',0);

set('z span', 2e-06);

set('injection axis', 'x-axis');

set('direction', 'Forward');

set('mode selection','user select');

set('number of field profile samples',5);

setnamed('FDTD::ports::In1','selected mode numbers',1);

If i try this :

error: prompt line 1125: in setnamed, no items matching the name 'FDTD::ports::In1' can be found.

 I need to select 2nd mode from the user select mode.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing additional details. I was able to run your script successfully:

When you test the script, make sure that you are in Layout mode. I saw this error when I tested the script in the analysis mode. As objects are not created in analysis mode, Line 1109 won't be able to find the object. Make sure that the port is being created before setting the other properties. Please let me know if you are already running it in Layout Mode and still see the error.
