cd /var/tmp
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jcyrax/pcbmodelgen

cd pcbmodelgen

# Dependencies
sudo apt-get install -y libtinyxml2-dev libtclap-dev octave

# Build and install 
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make

sudo checkinstall cp -a /var/tmp/pcbmodelgen/build/pcbmodelgen /usr/local/bin/



# Usage

# OpenEMS should be installed and the octave paths should be configured in ~/.octaverc as in:

cat <<EOF | sudo tee ~/octaverc >/dev/null
addpath('/usr/share/octave/packages/openems-0.0.35/')
addpath('/usr/local/share/CSXCAD/matlab/')
EOF

# The tool can be used as in:

# Example
#pcbmodelgen -p board.kicad_pcb -c pcbmodelgen.json

# Extra help
#pcbmodelgen -h

#There are some examples in the example directory. Inside each example folder has a makefile to run the example.

# To run everything just type
#make

# To generate the mesh of the Kicad's PCB
#make run

# To simulate the generated mesh with openEMS
#make sim

# To clean the generated files
#make clean

#These steps will show model using the AppCSXCAD and after exit from its 3D viewer, the next step is to run the simulation with openEMS and present results.
