Hi,

Apologies for the delay, last week was pretty hectic (I was on a business trip). You can definitely extract the GDS file from the adjoint_0.fsp simulation. The process is the same as the one used in the example (see at the end of the Py script, the variable gds_export_script that is a string containing the commands to export the GDS. You can open the fsp file, then run the commands. Just make sure the script file Lumerical_GDS_auto_export.lsfx is in the same folder.
