In this paper a multiphysics approach to study the optical properties of integrated waveguides influenced by thermal and mechanical stress is presented. The heating and pressure effects are evaluated by means the Heat Transfer and Structural Mechanics modules respectively. Finally, the electromagnetics capabilities of the AC/DC Module are used in order to evaluate the optical eigenfunctions and eigenvalues.
