I would like to use the expansion monitors to try the angled monitor. I feel it is a little bit challenging for me. In order to describe my question more visually, I have attached an example.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the LumOpt tutorial page (https:\/\/lumopt.readthedocs.io\/en\/latest\/tutorial.html), the basic setup for the output waveguide is horizontal.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this case, I want to set up the output waveguides with a certain angle so that they can split as early as possible. When I have angled output waveguides, the regular frequency &amp; power monitors cannot work as an input source in the adjoint simulation with a minimum simulation time. Therefore, the frequency &amp; power monitor might not work without a rotation for this inverse design.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/30-05-2023-1685416552-mceclip0.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have attached the files through a Dropbox link and hope you could check them if possible.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fo\/say26373rq5dcm4ilwzvb\/h?dl=0&amp;rlkey=d7srn5nctcfvafq6c2l6zth6i)&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks again for your time.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-286251","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/286251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/286251\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
