Hi MEEPers, What is the best approach for building complicated 3D models for MEEP?
The MEEP paper "MEEP : A flexible free-software package for electromagnetic simulations by the FDTD method" http://math.mit.edu/~stevenj/papers/OskooiRo10.pdf says: "...if we wanted to use a CAD program, we would use a professional-quality one, export the design to a standard interchange format, and write a conversion program to turn this format into what Meep expects" Has anyone attempted this? Is there a recommendation for an open-source professional-quality 3D CAD? Which standard interchange format would be best? I am new to MEEP and LINUX and for now it's a matter of deciding what software "architecture" around it would be best to use, both for model building and later for data analysis. Any pointers would be appreciated. Best Regards, Cristian
