addimport - Script command

Adds an import primitive to the simulation environment.  The import primitive can be used to create a 3D geometry by importing a surface, an image, or binary data.  It can also be used to create an n,k material.

Example

The following script commands will generate a surface data and then use the data to create a layer of glass whose top surface is defined by the generated data.

# generate a surface
nx = 50;
ny = 40;
x = linspace(-6,6,nx);
y = linspace(-5,5,ny);
X = meshgridx(x,y);
Y = meshgridy(x,y);
Z = exp(-(X^2+Y^2)/4^2) * sin(pi*Y/2);
# Remember that all units are SI. We defined the surface in microns
# so all lengths must be multiplied by 1e-6
x = x*1e-6; # switch to SI units
y = y*1e-6; # switch to SI units
Z = Z*1e-6; # switch to SI units
# create substrate layer with an import object
addimport;
set("material","SiO2 (Glass) - Palik");
# upper surface and reference height
importsurface2(Z,x,y,1);
set("upper ref height",0e-6);
