Now my problem is that if I put a reflective boundary where the laser comes from, the laser cannot enter the box, there is an error message and the code crashes. Also If I try to set up the laser lens inside the box to have the source of energy directly inside the closed box, it is not allowed (error message : Error message is ed_beamsCheck2DRec: Beam lens (partially) inside the domain! ).</div><div><br></div><div>Any suggestions on those issues would really help me a lot,</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much for the help,</div><div><br></div><div>All the best,</div><div><br></div><div>Antoine</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
