Input Type error of 'render_design()' in class 'QHFSSDrivenmodalPyaedt()'

[ChrisW918]

Information

• Qiskit Metal version: 0.1.5
• Python version: 3.9.19
• Operating system: Window VM in macOS Sonoma 14.2

What is the current behavior?

I wanted to use pyaedt to build connect between my Ansys Student Version and the metal script, following by the notebook DrivenModal.

The issue occurs when I execute

hfss_dm.render_design(selection=[
    'TQ1', 'TQ2', 'cpw_openRight', 'cpw_openLeft', 'cpw_middle', 'Q1', 'Q2'],
                      open_pins=[],
                      port_list=[
                          ('cpw_openRight', 'end', 50),
                                 ('cpw_openLeft', 'end', 50)
                                 ],
                      jj_to_port=[ ('Q2', 'rect_jj', 51)],
                      ignored_jjs=[('Q1', 'rect_jj')],
                      box_plus_buffer=True)

, and it reports

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'Dict' and 'int'

Steps to reproduce the problem

I looked into the function description of render_design() and the suggested format of input is exactly (component name[str], element name[str], impedence[int]) .

What I've tried is to replace the int value of impedence as str '50', and the cell successfully executed with notification

11:42PM 08s ERROR [confirm_port_list_have_valid_request]: Impedance should be either float or int. You have impedance=50
11:42PM 08s ERROR [valid_input_arguments]: Arguments are not in Design for port_list.
11:42PM 08s ERROR [render_design]: Check the arguments to render_design, invalid name was probably used.

Therefore, the value is not succefully imported.

What is the expected behavior?

As I run the cells in notebook, it should be well worked.

Suggested solutions

I would like to ask to look deep into the function of render_design() and its inherted functions to see which one reports the TypeError, and eventually makes the notebook successfully executes.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for checking this out.

Let's see, so the pyaedt codebase has changed a bit since the notebook was written.

Can you show the full trace back? So the issue is only with the port values?

Have you looked in here btw? https://github.com/qiskit-community/qiskit-metal/blob/main/qiskit_metal/renderers/renderer_ansys_pyaedt/hfss_renderer_drivenmodal_aedt.py
This is where render_design is defined

Hi @zlatko-minev,

Here is the full trace back,

and here I also attach the argment setting, which should be two pairs of float Transmon-resonator model sharing one transmission line. Pleas check my arguments setting.

hfss_dm.render_design(selection=[
    'TQ1', 'TQ2', 'cpw_openRight', 'cpw_openLeft', 'cpw_middle', 'Q1', 'Q2'
],
                      open_pins=[],
                                 
                      port_list=[('cpw_openRight', 'end', '50'),
                                 ('cpw_openLeft', 'start', '50')

                      box_plus_buffer=True)

I think only the port values arg report this issue since as I change the value into str and keep the setting of jj_to_port, it does not report error.

Also, I read the function description, and confused about the blink arg open_pins since apparently, the two pins of the transmission line should be open right?

I think you cut the stack printout, it shows ..., so it's hard to see where the error actually occurred

Hi @zlatko-minev, sorry for the cut, and here are the full report. It turns out that the input variables for function to_vec3D_list are not in correct type. My breakpoints were failed to build in, so I was not able to debug for the inputs. Could you take a look to check this function, and in case possible, could you update the notebook that is compatible with the current version?
