Lumerical

The Lumerical Automation API let's you interact with Lumerical’s solvers and perform complex tasks such as simulation automation, data analysis, optimization, and inverse design. You can automate in the interface from the Script File Editor using a Lumerical script, the Python API, or MATLAB commands. You can also automate from a Python IDE (such as Jupyter Notebook, PyCharm, or Visual Studio Code) with the Python API or in the MATLAB environment with the MATLAB interop.
