I'm trying to copy the Simulens setting from MXI back to MXS file, it works fine in pymaxwell4, but not with pymaxwell (just upgrade to Maxwell 5), can someone take a look for me?

Attached mxi and mxs.

Error Message:
sceneMXS.setDiffraction(0, 0, mxi_ApertureMap, mxi_ObstacleMap)
TypeError: in method 'Cmaxwell_setDiffraction', argument 4 of type 'mw::String const &'



Code:

# from pymaxwell4 import *
from pymaxwell5 import *


def transferMXISettingToMXS():

mxifilepath = "C:/Users/wong.mingfae/Desktop/model.mxi"
mxsfilepath = "C:/Users/wong.mingfae/Desktop/model.mxs"


if mxifilepath and mxsfilepath:
outputFile = "C:/Users/wong.mingfae/Desktop/model_output.mxs"
# -------------- Read MXI file ------------
sceneMXI = CmaxwellMxi()
sceneMXI.read(mxifilepath)
# -------------- Get MXI Simulens setting ------------
mxi_ApertureMap = sceneMXI.getApertureMap()
mxi_ObstacleMap = sceneMXI.getObstacleMap()
print(' ApertureMap:', mxi_ApertureMap)
print(' ObstacleMap:', mxi_ObstacleMap)
mxi_DiffractionEnabled = sceneMXI.isDiffractionEnabled()
print(' Diffraction On:', mxi_DiffractionEnabled)

print(' Diffraction:', mxi_DiffractionIntensity)
print(' Frequency:', mxi_DiffractionFrequency)

if mxi_DevignettingEnabled:
mxi_Devignetting = sceneMXI.getDevignetting()
print(' Devignetting:', mxi_Devignetting)

sceneMXS.readMXS(mxsfilepath)

# -------------- Transfer Simulens setting back to MXS ----------
if mxi_DiffractionEnabled:
sceneMXS.enableDiffraction()
sceneMXS.setDiffraction(mxi_DiffractionIntensity, mxi_DiffractionFrequency, mxi_ApertureMap, mxi_ObstacleMap)
else:

sceneMXS.setRenderParameter('DEVIGNETTING', mxi_Devignetting)
print("Simulens setting transfer finished.")
sceneMXS.writeMXS(outputFile)

print('MXI or MXS file missing.')
print('Done.')

I see that not all the C++ methods of the SDK that use mw::String as input/output parameters (or return value) are properly ported to Python. The following methods are problematic:

Cmaxwell.getEngineVersionSaved
Cmaxwell.setPaths
Cmaxwell.getChannelUserSuffix
Cmaxwell.getChannelSuffixActive
Cmaxwell.setDiffraction

MxiBuffer.getName

CmaxwellMxi.getChannelName
CmaxwellMxi.getChannelShowName
CmaxwellMxi.getChannelSuffix

Sorry about this, we will try to find out a solution or a workaround.
