Ansys Lumerical FEEM
Getting Started (Self-paced Learning Available)

Course Overview

This course introduces the Finite Element Eigenmode (FEEM) Solver available in the finite-element IDE. It is primarily intended for beginner to intermediate users, with a focus on providing practical examples to common tasks. The course covers frequently used functional areas, simulation setup, running simulations, and visualizing results.

Prerequisites

  • Basic knowledge about electromagnetism and mode propagation theory
  • Familiarity with the finite element design environment and simulation workflow is recommended. This course does not cover object modeling and structure building tips. These skills can be obtained in a related course such as DGTD Getting Started. 

Teaching Method

Lectures and demos. A major emphasis is placed on balanced mix of basic theoretical knowledge and helpful practical examples that will allow new users to quickly become proficient and productive with FDE.
