Run and export in one line

KQC simulations are first exported to a folder and then run as a shell script. It is convenient to run KQC simulations as a one liner. This can be done with the export_and_run.py script.

Go to directory ‘klayout_package/python’ and run:

kqc simulate klayout_package/python/scripts/simulations/waveguides_sim_compare.py

or if you do not want the GUI dialogs:

kqc simulate klayout_package/python/scripts/simulations/waveguides_sim_compare.py -q

Note

On Windows you may need to install KQC (pip install -e .) with admin priviledges (depending on whether Python install is in Program Files or AppData)
