NEXTNANOPY README
nextnanopy is a Python module to interface the nextnano software. This package includes features for:
- Output files: User-friendly method to load the datafiles which allows easy and flexible post-processing.
- Input files: Load input files, set variables, save by finding unused name, execute the file, write input files, etc.
- Configuration: Setup default nextnano configuration (path to executables, databases, licenses, etc).
- Import from GDS files: Load polygons from GDS files and user-friendly methods to generate raw text of nextnano shapes (beta).
Note: A valid license for the nextnano software is not compulsory for the general use of nextnanopy, unless you would like to execute input files via Python.
