Gerber to ODB PCB tracks converter for COMSOL (unmaintained)

This function convert Gerber PCB tracks to ODB(X)++. Then the geometry can be imported in COMSOL.

You are now following this Submission

COMSOL can only import ODB(X)++ PCB tracks geometry.
The facts is that many PCB design tools can't export ODB(X)++.

GERBER is the standard format for PCB tracks. Thus the function convert a GERBER file into a ODB(X)++ for COMSOL (or other software). A text file (space separated) value is also available.

The function can changes to units, set a new origin, ...

The package comes with:
- the function to convert the files
- an example of GERBER files (PCB coil)
- a COMSOL file with a basic usage of a PCB simulation (electric current in a PCB coil)
