When using conventional Lumerical engine licenses, the simulation lasts ~12 hours even if I use 120 cores. I am wondering if someone has benchmarked Lumerical FDTD vs. Comsol. Does anyone know if it is more optimal to use Lumerical or Comsol when considering high quality factor structures?<\/p>\n<p>Also, has anyone studied which software (Lumerical or Comsol) provides more accurate result within a reasonable time frame?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-292468","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-highQ-1","topic-tag-simulation-error","topic-tag-simulation-process-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["192317","2592"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.217.200.71"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2807"],"_edit_lock":["1689064921:78089"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["292468"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27833"],"_bbp_engagement":["2592","192317"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["292759"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["292759"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-07-12 11:44:06"]},"test":"sokhoyancaltech-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/292468","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\/292468\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
