That error usually means you've incorrectly specified the resolution
with respect to the rest of the problem.
There is a thread on this topic which should help clarify:
http://ab-initio.mit.edu/pipermail/meep-discuss/2006-September/000340.html
Instead of trying to figure out where you went wrong, I just tried
changing
(define-param resolution-ppw 20) to
(define-param resolution-ppw .0000002),
which seems to fix your problem. Of course, it's more logical to go
through your script and find where you're incorrectly
dividing/multiplying by a base unit and fix that. Then you'll be able
to specify resolution in ppw sensibly.
Kind Regards,
Matt

I'm basically trying to find the transmission spectrum of a slab of
epoxy sandwiched between two perforated copper sheets. The aim is to
duplicate the results in a paper by A. P. Hibbins and J. R. Sambles
titled "Squeezing Millimeter Waves into Microns", specifically Figure 3.
Thanks.
Ashifi.
