Step 3: Simulate Your Circuit¶
Now let's run a simulation to see how your circuit performs. Then we'll modify it and see how the results change.
Run your first simulation¶
In the right top bar of the Schematic View tab, click the button with the graph icon, hover the Simulate & Plot option, then select the From Layout option to run the simulation (if you can't see the graph button, make sure you are in the Schematic View and that the tab is selected).
A new tab will appear with the simulation results:
Modify and re-simulate¶
In the Schematic View tab, right click on r2 and select edit. Set the radius of r2 to 11 um, then press enter.
You can see the radius change in the GDS View tab:
Run the simulation again by clicking the graph icon and selecting Simulate & Plot > From Layout. See how both ring resonances only filter one wavelength now at 1565 nm.
🎉 Congratulations! You've simulated your first circuit!
