Gyptis is a package to solve Maxwell’s equations with the finite element method. It is in early stage and currently being actively developed, so features might come and go.

Installation

Conda

The easiest way is using conda. First, add conda-forge to your channels with:

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict

Once the conda-forge channel has been enabled, gyptis can be installed with:

conda install gyptis

Alternatively, we provide an environment.yml file with all the dependencies for the master branch. First create the environment:

conda env create -f environment.yml

and then activate it with

conda activate gyptis

Pipy

The package is available on pipy. To install, use:

pip install gyptis

Note

This does not install FeniCS, which should be built separately (see instructions)

Docker

Prebuilt container images are available at DockerHub

A quick way of testing is to get the installation script

curl -s https://gyptis.gitlab.io/get | bash

You will then be able to run the container with

gyptis run

Alternatively, you can pull the docker image

docker pull gyptis/gyptis:latest

To run the image, use

docker run -it gyptis/gyptis:latest

Documentation and examples

See the documentation website. A good starting point is to look at examples of application for typical problems encountered in photonics.
