VPIpython 3.7

VPIpython is a Python interface from VPIphotonics GmbH that lets engineers and researchers control, automate, and extend VPIphotonics simulation workflows directly from Python. It provides programmatic access to projects, parameters, simulation runs, and results, bridging VPIphotonics tools with Python’s scientific ecosystem.

Key capabilities:

• Configure and run simulations programmatically instead of relying solely on the GUI
• Perform parameter sweeps, batch runs, optimization, and Monte Carlo studies
• Extract and process simulation data for analysis and visualization
• Integrate custom algorithms and co-simulate with Python-based DSP, ML, and optimization libraries
• Build reproducible workflows and share analyses via scripts or Jupyter notebooks

Typical use cases:

• Rapid design space exploration for optical systems and photonic circuits
• Prototyping and validating DSP and control algorithms
• Automated regression testing and report generation for R&D

Benefits:

• Faster iteration through scripting and automation
• Reproducible, version-controlled simulation studies
• Seamless data handling with NumPy, SciPy, pandas, and Matplotlib

Developed and supported by VPIphotonics GmbH, VPIpython helps unify simulation, analysis, and automation in one flexible, Python-driven workflow.

VPIpython is developed by VPIphotonics GmbH. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 2.7, 3.1 and 3.7. The name of the program executable file is cwp.exe.
