I'm trying to add a new structure to Lumerical using the command 'addplanarsolid'.<\/p>\n

In detail, following the 'Drawing truncated cone in finite element.lsf', I have understood the script and converted to Python in order to conduct it by Python.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/support.lumerical.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/1500007997382-Drawing-truncated-cone-in-finite-element<\/a><\/p>\n

I understood that the command 'addplanarsolid' requests two data i.e. vertices and facets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I have made the vertex and facets then I encountered the error <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

 "File "E:\/user\/\uae40\uac15\uc11d\/lumapi_example\/pyramid.py", line 121, in <module><\/p>\n

  fdtd.set('facets', a)<\/p>\n

lumapi.LumApiError: "argument list for set command is incorrect – set arguments were converted to ('str, cell array)"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

So I converted arguments of facets "a" to nd.array and I also encountered the error like this<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

"E:\/user\/\uae40\uac15\uc11d\/lumapi_example\/pyramid.py:114: VisibleDeprecationWarning: Creating an ndarray from ragged nested sequences (which is a list-or-tuple of lists-or-tuples-or ndarrays with different lengths or shapes) is deprecated. If you meant to do this, you must specify 'dtype=object' when creating the ndarray<\/p>\n

 a_array = np.array(a)<\/p>\n

TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number, not 'list'<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:<\/p>\n

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Process finished with exit code 1<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

If I resolved this problem, then should I put the command 'a_array = fdtd.putv("a",a)' like this?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Any help would be appreciated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-166360","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["1804"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["248385","9029"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["166360"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27833"],"_bbp_engagement":["9029","14496","248385"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["245823"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["245823"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-01-07 14:50:40"]},"test":"dream98410gmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166360","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\/166360\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
