Extreme Fill

This Python package generates the data required to reproduce the figures in Modeling Extreme Bottom-Up Filling of through Silicon Vias by Josell, Wheeler and Moffat.

Requirements

The main requirements are a working version of FiPy to solve the PDEs and PyTables to store the data in an HDF5 file. See requirements.txt for specific versions or dependencies used to run this package on the maintainer's system. The requirements.txt file is auto-generated so most of the packages listed are not necessarily required. If you are having issues with installation and missing packages this would be a good place to start looking. If the plots are not generated correctly for some reason or latex errors are occurring, it might be worth checking the maintainer's matplotlibrc file for clues on the correct latex packages to install and the correct matplotlib configuration.
