Traditional electromagnetic simulation tools demand high-performance computing resources, local installations, and maintenance-intensive hardware setups. With Tidy3D’s cloud-native WebAPI, you can launch, monitor, and analyze full-wave electromagnetic simulations from any device—whether in a lab, at home, or halfway across the world. All you need is a browser and an internet connection!
Tidy3D eliminates one of the most significant barriers in photonic R&D: accessibility.
No Need for Powerful Workstations: Tidy3D runs on the cloud’s scalable infrastructure, delivering high-speed, large-scale simulations without needing local GPUs or servers.
Device-Agnostic Workflow: Whether you're on a laptop, tablet, or desktop, Tidy3D works seamlessly through its intuitive Web GUI or Python-powered WebAPI.
Collaborate with Ease: Share and reproduce results across teams without file incompatibilities or hardware constraints.
Tidy3D’s WebAPI introduction shows how simple it is to submit simulations programmatically. With a few lines of Python code, you can:
Define structures and sources
Submit simulations to the cloud
Monitor job status
Retrieve and analyze results—all asynchronously
This level of automation is ideal for high-throughput design exploration, batch simulations, or integration into larger design pipelines.
Cloud simulation is more than just a convenience—it’s a competitive advantage:
Faster Iteration Cycles: Submit jobs in parallel and analyze results quickly, without waiting in hardware queues.
Scalable Performance: Leverage on-demand computational power for even the most complex or memory-intensive simulations.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Say goodbye to expensive hardware investments, software installation, and maintenance overhead.
Whether you’re a:
Startup founders prototyping next-gen photonic chips,
Academic researchers pushing the limits of nanophotonics,
Students learning the foundations of wave optics, or
Industry engineers building production-ready designs,
Tidy3D gives you fast, powerful, and accessible simulation tools—no matter where you are.
