Dear Meep users, An update of the Python bindings for Meep was released today : version 1.3
It features 2 important improvements : * The preferred technique for interfacing the epsilon-values with Meep is now through the use of a NUMPY matrix. Python-Meep will interface the complete matrix in one shot with the Meep core. This eliminates Python callbacks, and offers the same performance as using inline C/C++. At the same time, the user can work in Python only :) -See paragraph 3.3 of the documentation for a description. -See "python_meep_bent_wg_numpy_matrix.py" for an implementation of the Bent Waveguide problem with this technique. * The possibility for a custom callback in every step of the simulation : the user can then decide to gather data or take any other action that is appropriate, such as outputting specific parts of the field. -See paragraph 6.3 of the documentation for a description. -See "python_meep_straight_wg_customHDF5output.py" for a sample implementation. The software is available on Launchpad and we welcome your feedback : https://launchpad.net/python-meep On that site, there is also a link to the tutorial/documentation. best regards. python_meep_bent_wg_numpy_matrix.py On Fri, 2010-01-22 at 17:54 +0100, Emmanuel Lambert wrote: > Dear Meep users, > > An updated version (1.1) of the Python bindings for Meep was released > today : > > * This version features better support for HARMINV, i.e. a user friendly > function 'runWithHarminv' is now available (see section 6.2 in the > documentation for a detailed description).
