Abstract: Sfepy is an open-source framework that is dedicated to solving partial differential equation (PDE) problems with the finite element method (FEM). And Gmsh is a 3D mesh generator combining a build-in CAD engine that provides a speedy, light, and easy implementation meshing tool. I build a finite element mode solver based on Sfepy and Gmsh for step-index fiber mode and whispering gallery mode (WGM) analysis. The simulation results are satisfying and match the COMSOL results quite well. The simulation process requires the following steps: (1) A good finite element mesh which determines the quality of simulation, (2) a problem description file (.py) is required since Sfepy doesn't have GUI.
