Initial parameter value effects parametric sweep

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am using a parametric sweep to vary the wavelength of incident light for a nanophotonics simulation, but I'm finding that the initial value of my wavelength parameter effects the results.

The parametric sweep node is set to sweep global parameter "lda" for a range of values.

The frequency in the Study 1: Frequency Domain node is set to f0. This is a global parameter defined as f0=c_const/lda

The final results (measuring sample reflection and transmission) differ depending on the value of lda set in the Global Definitions node.

The only other thing that is dependent on this value is the refractive index of my particle, defined using an interpolation from imported values, but I get the same effect if I change these to constants.

Can anyone help me fix this? I'm using ver 4.3a
