d. Adjustments to the postprocessor: (i) Figure out how to eliminate the spurious negative dissipations at the edges of material blocks; (ii) Optionally produce bitmaps and mode files unfolded along the symmetry planes. This will make the bitmaps easier to read and will make modefile sources more flexible.
e. Allow modefile sources to have a different cell size than the current simulation. We’re summing over
f. Transient simulations and frequency responses via FFT methods on the transient.
g. Change to a response surface optimizer, where the values are fitted to some surface (e.g. a spline) and the surface minimum is found at each step. This can probably be done as a relatively simple mod of
h. Generate
i. Further improvement of the memory utilization behaviour of the postprocessor. Although the postprocessor tries to avoid holding everything in memory at once, big simulations with complicated output files (e.g. Vis5D files with >7 variables) may cause
j. (Fairly far out) Addition of a
B.4.2. Beta Release Limitations
The POEMS beta release has the following known limitations:
a. Parameter stepping isn’t yet implemented.
b. Generalized cylinders and bends aren’t yet implemented, so you’ll have to make do with fans, blocks, and grating lines of rectangular
c. Illumination beams of arbitrary pupil functions aren’t implemented yet.
d. The current optimizer is an unconstrained
