Dear Devi Taufiq Nurrohman , you can find a learning and training page on Lumerical´s website:

Additionally you can find multiple video tutorials, both from Ansys and other sources:

Hope it helps.

This article which uses FDTD for SPR based simulations may help you. Take a look:

Article Silver-Soret Nanoparticles for Femtomolar Sensing of Glutath...

Thank you for the reference given Seemesh Bhaskar. This paper is very valuable for my research. Do you have any documents regarding the FDTD lumerical tutorial?

Hi Devi,

Lumerical software has a bunch of "example" simulation you can try from their fresh installed. The simplest way to start, you call one of this sample, take a look at the simulation design and condition, and how it works then try to modify and to your own case, you can change the material, or change the shape, or size (step by step). Do not forget to "save as.." to the new file name in your common folder.

Then try to run, and you got your first simulation case on Lumerical. If the error appears, you need to trace back from the example file, what was the mistake, then try to fix the error.

Good luck.

Thank you for the advice given @Briliant A. Prabowo.

I am still studying the existing examples and trying to modify them according to my research
