# Update Optical Properties

After running a heat simulation, you can use the temperature data to update the material's optical properties. This is a convenient feature for coupling different solvers.

Only mediums including Optical Perturbation specifications will be updated.

# Use results from

Select the solver from which to take the results.

# Temperature monitor

Select the temperature monitor from which the optical properties will be updated.

# Interpolation method

interp_method: Interpolation method to obtain heat values that are not supplied at the grid coordinates.

Options:

  • nearest
  • linear

Default: nearest

# Auto update

Set it to True to automatically update the material's optical properties when new temperature results are available.
