COMPASS
Cross-solver Optical Modeling Platform for Analysis and Simulation Studies
Overview
COMPASS is a cross-solver modeling platform for optical simulations. It provides a documentation-based platform for comparing and analyzing results from various optical simulation tools.
The documentation site built with VitePress offers simulation methodologies, result comparisons, and tutorials.
Features
- Cross-solver optical simulation comparison
- Python-based data processing pipeline
- VitePress documentation site
- Simulation tutorials and examples
Workflow
Optical solvers use different inputs and result formats, which makes like-for-like review difficult. COMPASS separates the Python processing pipeline from the documentation layer so that calculated results and the method used to interpret them remain traceable.
A study defines the problem and solvers, normalizes their outputs through a shared analysis flow, and records the comparison in VitePress tutorials and examples. The goal is to preserve reproducible procedures and engineering decisions instead of leaving isolated result files.
