Can't use example script

You need to add OpenEMS matlab share to your octave path. I have made file .octaverc in my home directory

addpath('/home/janis/ProjectsContrib/openEMS/out/share/openEMS/matlab')
addpath('/home/janis/ProjectsContrib/openEMS/out/share/CSXCAD/matlab')

physical_constants is defined in OpenEMS, it's used in octave scripts so that's why the complaint.

Ok, now worked, but It is normal to close AppCSXCAD to perform simulations by OpenEMS?

[jcyrax]

Yes, thats how its done in examples, so you could verify that geometry is ok, before waiting long time to complete simulation. If you don't need that, just edit octave script file. There is CSXGeomPlot call somewhere inside.

Warning: No primitives found in property: drill_fill!

@jcyrax, I got these two warnings trying to run the examples. How to solve/add these primitives?

[jcyrax]

@mfaccin, next time open new issue instead!
Regarding your question, this is just a warning OpenEMS gives to inform that there are no conductors in specified materials. In examples this is no problem. For your own simulations, this can be helpful hint to know something may be wrong with geometry.
