We have studied the dependence of spin wave dispersion on the characteristics of the mesh used in a finite element micromagnetic simulation. It is shown that the dispersion curve has a cut off at a frequency which is analytically predictable. The frequency depends on the average mesh length used for the simulation. Based on this, a recipe to effectively obtain the dispersion relation has been suggested. In a separate study, spin wave reflections are absorbed by introducing highly damped edges in the device. However, an abrupt change in the damping parameter causes reflections. We compare damping profiles and identify an exponential damping profile as causing significantly less reflections.
