Meshing\n    - FDTD\n        - `Ansys Lumerical`\n        - tidy3d\n        - Luminescent\n        - FDTDz\n        - MEEP\n    - FEM\n        - `femwell` Finite Element Method Solver (heaters, modes, TCAD, RF waveguides).\n        - `elmer` for electrostatic (capacitive) simulations.\n        - `palace` for full-wave driven (S parameter) and electrostatic (capacitive) simulations.\n    - EME\n        - `meow` Eigen Mode Expansion (EME).\n    - Mode Solver\n        - Tidy3d\n        - Femwell\n        - MPB\n    - TCAD\n        - `devsim` TCAD device simulator.\n- Circuit simulations\n    - `sax` S-parameter circuit solver.\n    - `vlsir` for parsing GDS-extracted circuit netlists into Cadence Spectre, NgSpice and Xyce Schematic File formats.\n\n\n## Installation\n\nYou can install most plugins with:\n\n```bash\npip install \"gdsfactory[full]\" --upgrade\n```\n\nOr list the plugins individually:\n\n```bash\npip install \"gplugins[devsim,femwell,gmsh,schematic,meow,meshwell,sax,tidy3d]\" --upgrade\n```\n\nOr install only the plugins you need. For example:\n\n```bash\npip install \"gplugins[schematic,femwell,meow,sax,tidy3d]\" --upgrade\n```\n\n### Non-pip plugins\n\nThe following plugins require special installation as they can't be installed with `pip`:\n\n- For Meep and MPB you need to use `conda` or `mamba` on MacOS, Linux or [Windows WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) with `conda install pymeep=*=mpi_mpich_* -c conda-forge -y`\n- For Elmer, refer to [Elmer FEM – Installation](https://www.elmerfem.org/blog/binaries/) for installation or compilation instructions each platform. Gplugins assumes `ElmerSolver`, `ElmerSolver_mpi`, and `ElmerGrid` are available in your PATH environment variable.\n- For Palace, refer to [Palace – Installation](https://awslabs.github.io/palace/stable/install/) for compilation instructions using Spack or Singularity. Gplugins assumes `palace` is available in your PATH environment variable.\n\n## Installation for contributors\n\nWe recommend `uv` for installing GDSfactory.\nIf you don't already have uv, install with the following command:\n\n```bash\n# On macOS and Linux.\ncurl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh\n```\n\n```bash\n# On Windows.\npowershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c \"irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex\"\n```\n\n-Then you can install GDSFactory with:\n\n```bash\nuv venv --python 3.12\nuv sync --extra docs --extra dev\n```\n\n## Getting started\n\n- [Read the gplugins docs](https://gdsfactory.github.io/gplugins/)\n- [Read the GDSFactory docs](https://gdsfactory.github.io/gdsfactory/)\n- [Read the GDSFactory+ docs](https://gdsfactory.com/plus/))\n- [Join the discussion at GDSFactory Community Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/gdsfactory-community/shared_invite/zt-3aoygv7cg-r5BH6yvL4YlHfY8~UXp0Wg)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgdsfactory%2Fgplugins","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgdsfactory%2Fgplugins","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgdsfactory%2Fgplugins/lists"}
