The mesh, fde size and region are same for both simulations. I manually loaded the ldf file. With reference to figure attached below, I tried to find overlap with a gaussian beam created by the software (dcard-1,2), &#8220;Calculate overlap&#8221; works and gives a value. But for ldf file that I loaded (dcard 3,4,5..), &#8220;Calculate overlap&#8221; does not work at all. I am confused why the problem arises. Also if there is a way to access global data from .ldf through scripting, please let me know ( It always gives the error, &#8220;in getdata, no data structures named <a>global_mode2<\/a> were found&#8221; )<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Mode overlap\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/13-09-2023-1694611381-Issue_lumerical.png\" alt=\"For finding mode overlap with an external ldf file\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-306660","topic","type-topic","status-answered","hentry","topic-tag-FDE-1","topic-tag-overlap"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["293411","33648"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.218.215"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["801"],"_bbp_topic_status":["answered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_edit_lock":["1731358203:293411"],"_bbp_topic_id":["306660"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27833"],"_bbp_engagement":["33648"],"_bbp_voice_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["307045"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["307045"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-09-15 22:50:54"]},"test":"nivedita-vishnukumarmpl-mpg-de"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/306660","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":1,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/306660\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":393655,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/306660\/revisions\/393655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
