LumericalFDTD-modeling

LumericalFDTD-modeling is a skill for Claude Code from Lex669/LumericalFDTD-skill. It costs 111 tokens per session (1,370 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for building Ansys Lumerical FDTD optical models. It creates the device geometry, assigns materials, configures light sources and measurement monitors, and defines optional fine mesh regions without running the simulation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare scripts for optical devices by defining shapes, dimensions, materials, wavelengths, polarization, simulation boundaries, monitors, and mesh settings.
Why use it?
It focuses model creation separately from simulation execution and result analysis. This makes the model structure easier to inspect and pass to later workflow stages.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

LumericalFDTD-modeling scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

FDTD 结构建模器

职责范围

本 skill 仅负责结构建模阶段:构建几何、设置材料、配置光源和监视器、定义网格覆盖。输出纯建模脚本(不含 fdtd.run()),供后续仿真 skill 使用。

不负责:运行仿真(→ LumericalFDTD-simulation)、数据分析(→ LumericalFDTD-analysis)、端到端全流程(→ LumericalFDTD)。

工作流

1. 理解需求

确认以下信息后开始编写脚本。若用户未明确提供,主动询问:

类别 需确认的参数
器件结构 几何形状、尺寸、(x/y/z span / radius / thickness)、排列方式(单孔/阵列/周期)
材料 衬底材料、金属层材料、蚀刻区域
光源 波长范围(start/stop)、偏振方向、入射方向、光束类型(平面波/高斯/偶极子)
监视器 类型(功率/场分布/折射率)、位置、覆盖范围
仿真域 x/y/z span、边界条件、网格精度

2. 构建脚本

按以下结构生成 *_model.py

# 1. 导入
import sys; sys.path.append("{API_PATH}")
import lumapi; import numpy as np
import matplotlib; matplotlib.use('Agg'); import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# 2. 参数定义(集中管理)
wavelength = 100e-6
x_span = 200e-6; y_span = 200e-6; z_span = 100e-6
# ... 结构参数 ...

# 3. 仿真会话 — 仅构建,不运行
with lumapi.FDTD(hide=True) as fdtd:
    # 3a. 仿真区域
    fdtd.addfdtd()
    # ...

    # 3b. 材料 / 衬底
    # ...

    # 3c. 几何结构(从底到顶)
    # ...

    # 3d. 网格覆盖(可选,精细结构才加)
    # ...

    # 3e. 光源
    # ...

    # 3f. 监视器
    # ...

    # 3g. 保存模型(不运行)
    fdtd.save(os.path.join(fsp_dir, "model.fsp"))

3. 输出

  • *_model.py — 建模脚本(纯结构构建)
  • 可选:.fsp 模型文件(供手动打开检查)

参考文档

根据构建需要读取:

参考文件 何时读取
../LumericalFDTD/references/building-blocks.md 需要几何结构、光源、监视器、网格覆盖的详细 API 用法
../LumericalFDTD/references/diffraction.md 涉及孔衍射结构时

关键约束(与主 skill 一致)

约束 说明
2025 R2 必须显式 addfdtd() lumapi.FDTD() 后立即调用 fdtd.addfdtd(),否则所有 set 报错
严禁 fdtd.newproject() 重置项目会销毁 'FDTD' 求解器
set() vs setnamed() 区别 set() 对当前选中对象操作;add*() 会改变当前选中。不确定时用 setnamed()
不用 addmaterial 创建已有材料 addmaterial() 参数是基类型('Dielectric'),不是材料实例名。内置材料直接用 set('material', '全名')
材料全名不可简写 "PEC (Perfect Electrical Conductor)" 不是 "PEC"
addmaterial('(n=1.47)') 不支持 这是 .lsf 语法,Python API 不接受。用内置材料或 addmaterial('Dielectric') + set('index', 1.47)
多边形函数名是 addpoly 不是 addpolygon
addcone 不存在 用多层 addcircle 堆叠替代
多边形不支持 mesh order 省略该 set 语句
多边形顶点用 N×2 NumPy 数组 set("vertices", np.array(...)),Python list of tuplesUnsupported data type
严禁 fdtd.set("dimension", "2D") 用 quasi-2D 方案:3D + y_span=0.2um + Periodic BC
2D 监视器无 far field filter 仅用 frequency points 做频域采样
2D 监视器无 record field in time addprofile 改用 frequency points
raw string 不能以反斜杠结尾 "C:\\path\\" 双反斜杠

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
