zbf file Export #1005

Open tomflexcompute opened 1 year ago

tomflexcompute commented 1 year ago

I'm wondering if we can do zbf file export to coupler FDTD with ray tracing in Zmax. Coupling full-wave to ray tracing seems to be a feature many people want/need. It seems like a relatively straightforward feature to implement since it only involves parsing the FieldMonitor data into a specific format as the example discussed here: https://community.zemax.com/got-a-question-7/how-to-manually-create-a-zbf-file-941

Would you think we can implement this feature in the near future?

I'm looking into it, @tomflexcompute. It looks like it's doable, but there are a few settings in the zbf file that I'm don't yet fully understand.
