Title: Tool for simplifying substrate stackups
Post by Brecht Machiels on Jun 14^th, 2011, 9:51am

Hi,

I've written a Python module for simplifying substrate stacks and exporting them for import in ADS Momentum and Sonnet em. To make it easy to find errors in the entered stack, it can render the stack to a PDF file.

I've now written some documentation for it and made it available on GitHub, in the hope that it will be useful for others.

The github page is here: http://github.com/bmachiel/python-substratestack
If you're interested in using substratestack, you want to read the README at the bottom of this page.

You can download releases from here:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/substratestack

Best regards

I've made a new version (0.3) available. The major difference with 0.2 is that PyX has been replaced with ReportLab for PDF rendering. This should make installation much easier, especially on Windows. Just make sure you install ReportLab using a Windows installer provided on the ReportLab website before installing substratestack. Installation instructions on https://github.com/bmachiel/python-substratestack have been updated to reflect this.
