Cyclic Dependencies in an AR coating

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all,

I am currently working on modeling an antireflection coating by building a model based off of the Plasmonic Wire Grating tutorial. I have attached the model, so I'll skip over the particulars of how its built. Every time I try to solve, the model generates an error -
"There are cyclic dependencies.
- Variable name: root.comp1.mat12.rfi.n11
Error in multiphysics compilation."

Anyone know what is going on?

Hello Sahil Hasan, I have got the same problem when the version 4.3a is used. If you have solved your problem, could you please tell me the solution? Thanks in advance.

Try to rename the variable n11 (for eg, n11a). Hope it works, for me it worked.
