I think we should have that any way but actually direct export from
pcb to this format is more viable.
1. We don't want to export the whole geometry for most cases just some
area of the board users select
2. We might want to composite packages into the geometry we hand
openems. at microwave frequencies packaging on chips adds insertion
losses and etc and the chassis construction can effect things too. For
this reason I am curious if we should actually go from pcb to another
tool that has a 3d geometry kernel to add the other parts.
3. Hyperlynx has as far as i can find no public documentation. We
might try writing the author of the conversion utility but even still
can anyone think of a tool they want to use pcb with other than this
one that uses hyperlynx?
