Python interface for Sonnet.
Sonnet is a commercial (with a free version) EDA software for high-frequency RF/MW electromagnetic analysis. It is focused on 2.5D planar structures, like PCBs or chips.
SonPy is a Python module that lets the user manipulate and simulate Sonnet Software projects through Python. Please see the documentation in SonPy.pdf for more information.
NOTE: SonPy does not work properly with current Sonnet versions. I forked the latest version to fix at least a few of these issues for myself. The new example3.py works with the current Sonnet version (18.53), but a lot of work still needs to be done. Anyone is welcome to contribute.
NOTE: I am also planing to make SonPy more usable without importing a GDSII file by implementing functions to create those structures (addPoly is already there). This allows the better usage with the free version, as the free version is missing gds.exe to import GDSII files.
Master (2022-05-19) Functionality/fixes added since the fork of version 1.1:
- changed a few things to make SonPy work with the current version of Sonnet (18.53), this includes so far:
- Removed gds_stream/gds_object in favour of lay_name for Polygon
- Fixed coordinate translation, the box seems to be the relevant reference, not the polygons
- added the function addPoly to add polygons to the project
Version 1.1 (2018-09-16)
Functionality to handle brick layers added.
- added self.bricks = [] to Geo class
- added Brick class
- added section to readProject to initialize BRI and BRA definitions
- added section to printProject to print BRI and BRA material initiations
- added parameter to setTlayer to match defined brick to brick material
- made necessary additions to set tlayer parameters appropriate if brick material defined
- wrote addBrick function which takes in erel, loss_tan, cond, and brick name
