Getting Started with lumopt - Python API – Ansys Optics
lumopt is a Python module that allows users to run inverse design using lumapi, a Lumerical API for optimization. Learn how to import lumopt and lumapi, set up simulation objects, define wavelengths and FOM, and use scipy optimizer.
Session management - Python API - Ansys Optics
This web page explains how to use the Python API to integrate Lumerical tools with Python. It shows how to import the lumapi module, start a session, and access simulation objects.
Script commands as methods - Python API – Ansys Optics
Learn how to use Lumerical script commands as methods on your session object in Python for FDTD, MODE, DGTD, CHARGE, HEAT, FEEM and INTERCONNECT simulations. See syntax, docstrings, examples and missing methods for the Python API.
Passing Data - Python API - Ansys Optics
Users of the API will often be interested in returning the following data types from monitors. Raw Data. When accessing the raw data from a simulations it is available as a matrix in Lumerical and will be returned as a numpy array when passed to the Python environment.. The size of the matrices will be consistent with the lengths of the associated parameters.
Getting Started with lumslurm - Python API – Ansys Optics
As simulation workflows can get quite demanding in terms of computational resources, both for simulations but also to process the results, using High Performance Computing (HPC) has become a necessity, whether it is on premises or in the cloud.

How to run Lumerical API scripts from terminal in Linux
Important. The guidelines shown are for running Lumerical (Python) API scripts, 'lumapi' or 'lumopt' from the Terminal in Linux.The process allows running the Lumerical API scripts (.py) utilizing only 1 Lumerical GUI license.. Running the API from the Lumerical CAD/GUI in Linux will check out 2 Lumerical GUI licenses.One for the currently opened CAD/GUI and another (2nd) …
Using the EME solver to simulate and optimize waveguide bends
Learn how to use the custom field settings of the EME solver to model waveguide bends, such as S-bends and 90-degree bends, and compare the results with FDTD. See how to optimize the bend radius and length using the Python API and a FOM function.
