In the C++ interface, there is a function field::phase_in_material(const structure *s, double time) that does this. It continuously changes from the current structure to the new one (s) over the given time, by linear interpolation. (Give a time=0 to change discontinously, but usually abrupt changes are not a good idea.)
This can be called from the .ctl interface, of course, like all the C++ functions, via (meep-field-phase-in-material fields structure time) where structure is a new structure you have initialized by calling init-structure.

Could anyone point me in the right direction? _______________________________________________ meep-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://ab-initio.mit.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/meep-discuss
