kqcircuits.simulations.waveguides_sim

class kqcircuits.simulations.waveguides_sim.WaveGuidesSim(layout, **kwargs)

Bases: kqcircuits.simulations.simulation.Simulation

Initialize a Simulation.

The initializer parses parameters, creates a top cell, and then calls self.build to create the simulation geometry, followed by self.create_simulation_layers to process the geometry so it is ready for exporting.

Parameters

layout – the layout on which to create the simulation

Keyword Arguments

**kwargs –

Any parameter can be passed as a keyword argument.

In addition, cell can be passed as keyword argument. If cell is supplied, it will be used as the top cell for the simulation. Otherwise, a new cell will be created. See Simulation.from_cell for creating simulations from existing cells.

build()

Build simulation geometry.

This method is to be overridden, and the overriding method should create the geometry to be simulated and add any ports to self.ports.

ports: List[kqcircuits.simulations.port.Port]
