Meep integration

[mniehus]

In the most recent update a 'meep integration' is mentioned. Is there any documentation on this feature available or planned? cheers

... in particular, it would be interesting for me to understand on whch level the meep simulation is integrated: on the final 'gdsii object/cell/file level'? or rather on the 'gdshelper object level' ? are there any hints on this in the current gdshelper codebase? thank You very much.

The best documentation at the moment are the examples within the same file blow the definition of the class https://github.com/HelgeGehring/gdshelpers/blob/master/gdshelpers/simulation/simulation.py#L174 I hope that helps.
You can directly put shapes of the parts into the simulation, define the heights/refractive indeces/... and put monitors at ports.
I also plan to explain it in the documentation. Feedback about the meep-integration would be highly appreciated!
