gdsfactory plugins:
- `devsim` TCAD device simulator.
- `meow` Eigen Mode Expansion (EME).
- `femwell` Finite Element Method Solver (heaters, modes, TCAD, RF waveguides).
- `gmsh` mesh structures.
- `tidy3d` Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulations on the cloud using GPU.
- `lumerical` For Ansys FDTD and Circuit interconnect.
- `klayout` for fill, dataprep and testing.
- `ray` for distributed computing and optimization.
- `sax` S-parameter circuit solver.
- `schematic`: for bokeh schematic editor and `path_length_analysis`.
- `meep` for FDTD.
- `mpb` for MPB mode solver.
- `elmer` for electrostatic (capacitive) simulations.
- `palace` for full-wave driven (S parameter) and electrostatic (capacitive) simulations.
- `vlsir` for parsing GDS-extracted circuit netlists into Spice, Spectre and Xyce Schematic File formats.
## Installation
You can install most plugins with:
```bash
pip install "gdsfactory[full]" --upgrade
```
or
```bash
pip install "gplugins[devsim,femwell,gmsh,schematic,meow,meshwell,ray,sax,tidy3d]" --upgrade
```
Or install only the plugins you need. For example:
```bash
pip install "gplugins[schematic,femwell,meow,sax,tidy3d]" --upgrade
```
### Non-pip plugins
The following plugins require special installation as they can't be installed with `pip`:
- 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`
- 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.
- 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.
