Solvers for edge coupler in Lumerical

  Hi, novice here. I am trying to use 'Edge Coupler' app from Lumerical for simulating coupling of light between a single mode fiber and a waveguide. The Lumerical info on this example is here: https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042305354
  My Lumerical package only has licenses for FDTD, STACK, and RCWA solvers. With these solvers it is not possible to access the 'Edge Coupler' and I am wondering what other solvers/licenses I need to instal to be able to use the 'Edge Coupler'. Can you please help?
  
  Thanks,
  Vinaya

  Hi Vinaya,
  You don’t have the required solvers for this example. You will need to acquire two solvers, Mode and Interconnect. Mode is used for waveguide and coupler design, while Interconnect simulates photonic integrated circuits.
  Regarding Mode: https://www.ansys.com/products/photonics/mode
  Regarding Interconnect: https://www.ansys.com/products/photonics/interconnect
