Lumerical crashes with exit code 0xc0000409

vlad_p

Hello,

I am trying to run a simulation of a circular bragg grating however when I set it to run, the program does not get past the initialisation stage and crashes with the following report:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft MPI\Bin\mpiexec.exe" -n 6 "C:\Program Files\Lumerical\v211\bin\fdtd-engine-msmpi.exe" -t 1 "C:/Users/Vlad/Downloads/final_structure.fsp"

job aborted:

[ranks] message

[0-2] terminated

[3] process exited without calling finalize

[4-5] terminated

---- error analysis -----

[3] on DESKTOP-AFAVULJ

C:\Program Files\Lumerical\v211\bin\fdtd-engine-msmpi.exe ended prematurely and may have crashed. exit code 0xc0000409

---- error analysis -----

any help will be much appreciated!

@vlad_p, Can you try to run the mwp.fsp example from this article ? If the error happens with the example, mwp.fsp, try to run the simulation using Local Computer as your Job launching preset. See this post on running jobs without MPI. Otherwise if the issue only occurs with your simulation, check and make changes to your simulation/project.
