this might be a good time to start abstracting out geometry/mesh from the different solvers. Like have a "simulation domain" object that can call the different solvers on itself

@mdecea See new `dn_dict` argument in tidy3D waveguide https://github.com/gdsfactory/gdsfactory/blob/master/gdsfactory/simulation/gtidy3d/modes.py It takes in an unstructured mesh x, y, dn, and interpolates it onto the tidy3D index grid You need to make...

Hi @mdecea , yes this was the case in my first PR. In the second PR I[ have changed `ramp_voltage` to take in Vinit and Vfinal,](https://github.com/gdsfactory/gdsfactory/blob/b96ae31c9de911fff0369c19129a7a6e7544e37d/gdsfactory/simulation/devsim/get_simulation_xsection.py#L399) so the user can...

The examples ran for me on both Ubuntu and Windows after creating a new conda environment. I also tried with `pip install mkl` which also worked, so hopefully this also...

I think this is great coverage for now! Being able to simply pip install the software will definitely make it easier to deploy

@joamatab for the Spice plugin, we will need to rethink `get_netlist` because it currently restricts nodes to 2 connections only (which will be too limiting for generic electrical netlists) For...

> 3. I agree that SPICE netlist output would be very nice to have. But how would most people want their SPICE netlists to look? Pure electrical? Pure optical? Both...
