Cad Manual !free! — Rsoft

The RSoft CAD Environment serves as the foundational interface for the RSoft Photonic Device Tools, providing a sophisticated framework for the design and simulation of complex photonic devices. As the primary control module, the RSoft CAD manual is more than a simple instruction book; it is an essential architectural guide for researchers and engineers navigating the intricate world of integrated optics and optoelectronics. This manual details the unified environment where users can create, manage, and analyze photonic structures before subjecting them to specialized simulation engines like BeamPROP, FullWAVE, or DiffractMOD.

Key features

Visual layout editor for waveguides, gratings, photonic crystals, and multilayer stacks.
Layered geometry model with boolean operations, primitives (rectangles, circles, polygons), and imported masks/GDSII.
Material library support and user-defined dispersive/refractive-index models.
Mesh and simulation region setup for BeamPROP (BPM), FullWAVE (FDTD), DiffractMOD (RCWA), GratingMOD (slab grating solvers), FemSIM (FEM), and BandSOLVE (mode solver / eigenmode analysis).
Integration to run solvers from the CAD and to collect/visualize field profiles, spectra, S-parameters, power flow, and modal data.
Scripting and batch-run capabilities via command-line tools (e.g., xbcad) and input file export.
Examples and tutorials shipped with the product (example projects, tutorial files, and README notes in the software distribution).
