Cross-Platform Parameter Sweep with Python

VirtualLab Fusion allows external access to its modeling technology, solvers and results. This is helpful in order to be able to apply other data processing or optimization tools to further investigate optical simulations. In this example, we demonstrate how to run a parameter sweep using a Python script and how to collect the results, which can be further processed with all the capabilities offered by Python. Exemplarily, the diffraction efficiency of a grating is analyzed rigorously.
