An additional thought. Maybe all I need is to stop and restart the meep run before Harminv is started because the time stepping is what takes all the time. Harminv completes quickly once the time stepping is complete. Is there the capability for stopping meep, shut-down, restart and resume meep that will allow me to complete the Harminv run at the end?
