Hello, <\/p>\n
I have recently started to work with Lumerical and have some technical questions about the automation of running simulations and analysis in FDTD. I am setting up simulations using the GUI of Lumerical and then creating *.fsp files from the optimization and sweep window to run them later using the terminal. I include some analysis objects in the simulation which from what I understand need to be run one by one for Lumerical to perform the calculations from the raw data. <\/p>\n
I would like to automate this step using the python API package lumapi.<\/p>\n
1. I can extract datasets from *.fsp files from Lumapi if I have previously “Run analysis” on the CAD.<\/p>\n
However, I would like this to be automated in my py script to “runanalysis” on each *fsp created in sweep and then extract and save data elsewhere. Could someone suggest ways for this?<\/p>\n
I tried the following, this code loops over many filenames (all the *fsp files which have already run an FDTD sim)<\/p>\n
with lumapi.FDTD(filename) as fdtd:
data = method_to_get_data(fdtd)<\/p>\n
method_to_get_data(fdtd):
fdtd.runanalysis()<\/p>\n
but got the error:<\/p>\n
raise LumApiError(message)
lumapi.LumApiError: ‘in runanalysis: one or more analysis objects encountered errors’<\/p>\n
2. Do I need to “Run analysis” on each *fsp file of the sweep explicitly on the CAD? <\/p>\n
3. I saw many different scripting examples but is there a way to extract the full *lsf file from a Lumerical project setup I created on the CAD – one that would have the setup, analysis objects, and sweep info in it. Sort of like export to *lsf?<\/p>\n
