The structure is 10 um silicon with inverted pyramids texture sitting on a glass substrate. My simulation region is 12 um in length (10 um silicon + 1 um above and below for monitors, source, and substrate) with PML BC. The width is 1 um with symmetrical and anti-symmetrical BC. I am starting with 1 um lattice constant but I want to increase it even further. My problem is that the simulation takes 3-4 days for one run with 1 um width and will double when if I tried to increase the width and I am using the auto-non uniform mesh with accuracy = 2. <\/p>\n<p>I am looking for ideas that I can do with the mesh to get good accuracy but with reduced time (i.e. reduce the mesh along 10 um length of the silicon, &#8230;.). <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>P.S. I am doing a broadband simulation (from 300 to 1200 nm) with 300 wavelength points total across the whole range. I am dividing it into two simulations (from 300 nm to 800 nm and from 800 nm to 1200nm) to be able to do a good material fit for each wavelength range independently. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-160579","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_old_reply_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_reply_anonymous_id":["false"],"_btv_view_count":["239"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["233393"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["160579"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27833"],"_bbp_engagement":["30281","187594"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["186323"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["186323"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-07-24 01:14:55"]},"test":"sara91"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/160579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/160579\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
