Why Use RSoft MOST
Reduce trial-and-error by automatically exploring design alternatives, performance tradeoffs, and optimization opportunities.
Photonic device design often involves evaluating large numbers of design variables, performance tradeoffs, and operating conditions. RSoft MOST (Multi-Variable Optimization and Scanning Tool) automates parameter sweeps, design studies, and optimization workflows across RSoft simulation tools, helping engineers identify optimal designs and explore complex design spaces more efficiently. MOST can automate simulation execution, post-processing, and design exploration, reducing the time required to evaluate alternatives and improve device performance.
