fasthenry import

hi

is there already some freeware, maybe opensource PCB extraction tool, with import from usable universal formats (gerber/DXF)? or should i wait few more years?

the minimum would be to get an S or Z parameter matrix between 2 (or more) points, specified on a PCB. this would be usable for signal integrity or power integrity alaysis, by eispice.

there are already general-fieldsolvers (fasthenry, mefisto, gmsh, salome-code_aster), 2D Tline simulators (TNT-MMTL), PCB editors (kicad, geda), gerber viewers (kicad) and IBIS-based spice (eispice)...
the missing piece on the chain is the import and extraction, i think. or maybe just a gerber import to GMSH/salome/elmer would be enough.
