Ansys EmployeeI believe your waveguide structure has limited dimension in z. However, when you do 2D simulation, the software will assume there is no any variation, or confinement of the em fields. Basically it would be uniformly infinite in the 3rd dimension in 2D simulation. So they are not the same physical device.
If you check the vector fields, you will see the difference.
I would recommend you to us evarFDTD, which uses information in the 3rd dimension, yet the simulation is done is 2D, which is much fast and yet reasonable accuracy compared to 3D simulation.

SubscriberThank you for answering my question.
I have another question, is varFDTD MODE, can it be used in combination with 'LUMOPT' inverse design?
Best wishes!

Ansys EmployeeYes, you can find examples here:
