It does seem to work this way. Thanks Hector.

I believe it works like:
(output-dpwr-in-objects band-func min-energy object1 object2 object3 ... objectn)

So for example:
(output-dpwr-in-objects
(combine-band-functions fix-efield-phase output-tot-pwr) .25
(make block (center 0 0 0) (material air) (size (* s4 (sqrt 3)) s4 infinity) (e2 1 1) (e1 1 -1)) (make block (center 0 0 0) (material air) (size (* s4 (sqrt 3)) s4 infinity) (e2 (/ 2 (sqrt 3)) (/ -1 (sqrt 3))) (e1 0 1)) (make block (center 0 0 0) (material air) (size (* s4 (sqrt 3)) s4 infinity) (e2 (/ -1 (sqrt 3)) (/ 2 (sqrt 3))) (e1 1 0))) gives me the total power for bands which have >25% of their electric field energy within a hexagonal region I specified using three overlapping blocks.

I hope this helps,
Hector

    Hello,

    How to compute the energy of a field in a supercell? Take e.g. MPB's
    tutorial script for triangular rods:
    https://github.com/stevengj/mpb/blob/master/examples/tri-rods.ctl.
    I can
    calculate the energy in one rod by invoking:

    ((output-dpwr-in-objects output-dpwr 0.001 (make cylinder (center
    0 0 0)
                                  (radius 0.2) (height infinity)
                            (material (make dielectric (epsilon 12)))
                            )) 4)

    But how to do it for all rods in the supercell? Making a list doesn't
    work, as (output-dpwr-in-objects) doesn't work with this type of
    argument:

    ERROR: wrong type for argument type (list . geometric-object) in
    compute-energy-in-object-list

    Regards
    Adam
