When starting from scratch, your primary interface is the . Lumerical FDTD Nanophotonic Scattering Tutorial (Part 1)
Boundary conditions are among the most crucial yet often underestimated settings in FDTD simulations. The choice of boundary conditions fundamentally affects simulation accuracy and computational efficiency.

Visualizes the material refractive index profile.
Let’s walk through a classic benchmark: . When starting from scratch, your primary interface is the
Measures transmittance or reflectance across a surface. Boundary Conditions
Located on the left side, this panel contains every element of your simulation. Elements are organized into categories: Geometry (structures), Objects (groups), Simulation (mesh and boundaries), Sources, and Monitors. CAD Viewport : Calculate transmission, reflection, and field profiles

Once you master the single waveguide, expand your skills:
After the run, insert a script file ( Script → Edit Script ).
For flat optics and metalenses, you need to map out the phase and transmission vs. the nanopillar radius. Set boundary conditions to (X and Y) and PML (Z). Inject a Plane Wave source .
