I am trying to model the photonic bandgap of a gyroid (Ia3d)

given the surface is continuous and not discrete and would
appreciwate any help in setting up the unit cell.
Or is MEEP more suited to this. I have written a code that can
import any arbitrary geometry (2D/3D) into MEEP.
MPB is more suited to bandgap calculations in general (with a few
exceptions, like metallic structures).
MPB can import any shape in a variety of ways. It can import the
dielectric function from an arbitrary HDF5 file (see the epsilon-file
feature). You can also specify your own dielectric function by
writing an arbitrary function in Scheme (see the material-function
type).
