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.
Installation
nextnanopy can be installed on Linux / macOS / Windows. It requires Python >= 3.10.
To install the latest release the standard way, run the following in your Python environment of choice:
