\nThe E and H field data can be passed from the Python workspace to the Lumerical workspace using the putv<\/a> Python method. The field data needs to be in matrices in the Lumerical workspace, so they should be in NumPy arrays in the Python workspace before transferring them to Lumerical.
\nOnce they are in the Lumerical workspace they can be added to the rectilinear dataset using the addattribute<\/a> command. I believe this will have to be done through the eval<\/a> command due to the special syntax of the addattribute command. Once the E and H field data are in the rectilinear dataset in the Lumerical workspace they can be moved back to the Python workspace through getv<\/a>. Then they can be imported to the Import Source with the importdataset<\/a> command.
\nIn theory you should be able to build the rectilinear dataset as a Python dictionary without using putv, getv, eval, etc. but I think getting the exact format of all the data correct would be complicated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-196513","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
