Superfish writing binary files takes forever

Post by BaBene »

Hi there,

I'm recently used a program called Superfish (http://laacg.lanl.gov/laacg/services/download_sf.phtml), which basically solves Maxwell Equations on a grid while making use of rotational symmetry, on Windows. Since i personally prefer to work under Linux i tried running it with wine. There's even a wiki entry for Superfish (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=8937) saying that it works fine, but when i run any of the examples shipped with the software or create my own settings files and run them, the last part, which is writing the results into a binary format to a *.t35 file, takes forever, compared to running the software under Windows.

I doubt that there's anyone here in the forums that uses superfish (the wiki entry is rather old, too), but maybe you could give me some hints how i could solve this? The great advantage of superfish is it's speed, compared to fully calculating eigenfrequencies and fields in 3D, so this "error" is really annoying.

Some Information of the system:

Distribution: Arch Linux x86_64
Wine-Version: 1.7.10 (i checked this with a few other versions, all got the same issue)
Running in a Winebottle with an win32 Winearch.

Thanks in Advance

Regards
