We’re thrilled to announce one of the most anticipated features in Tidy3D’s evolution—3D visualization of simulation results is now live on the Tidy3D GUI! This exciting upgrade transforms the way engineers, researchers, and students interact with electromagnetic simulations. Instead of navigating static graphs or abstract outputs, users can now overlay simulation results directly onto 3D models, bringing simulations to life with vibrant, interactive visualizations.
With this update, Tidy3D GUI now supports:
3D Field Overlays: View electromagnetic field distributions directly mapped onto your 3D designs.
Cross-Sectional Slices: Analyze specific planes of your device to observe mode behavior and propagation with precision.
Surface Plots & Animations: Watch dynamic fields evolve or frequency, helping uncover patterns and performance bottlenecks.
Making complex optical designs understandable is crucial for fast-paced decision-making. With 3D visualizations:
Design reviews are more precise and more compelling.
Communication between teams and stakeholders improves dramatically.
Debugging and validation become faster and more accurate.
Tidy3D’s enhanced visualization tools are perfect for the classroom:
Teach fundamental and advanced concepts through immersive graphics.
Help students intuitively grasp electromagnetic field behavior.
Encourage experimentation by showing real-time visual feedback.
Simulation is a cornerstone of modern photonic design. However, interpreting results can be challenging, especially with complex geometries and multi-physics interactions. This 3D upgrade gives you a deeper, more intuitive understanding of your simulations, helping you spot trends, validate ideas, and drive innovations faster.
