Hi Mukul,

You can try the following code. You may want the code in a separate file
(say test.ctl, then using "meep test.ctl" to run it) rather than typing it
interactively as the control file become complicated.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; in CTL, the origin is the center of the computational cell

(set! geometry-lattice (make lattice (size 2 2 2)))
(define A (make dielectric (epsilon 12)))

(set! resolution 15)    ; the default is 10

(set! geometry (list
(make sphere (material A) (center 0 0 0) (radius 1))))

(run-until 2 (at-beginning output-epsilon))
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After running, using the following command to covert the h5 file into a vtk
format file which can be visualized by ParaView or mayavi2 or other
visualization programs.

h5tovtk  -o test.vtk ***********.h5

Good Luck.

Regards,

Simon
