Hi! Thank you for this wonderful project.

Thank you.
yes you can.
unixial or biaxial materials can easily be modeled by setting grid.inverse_permittivity directly.
If you need off-axis elements in your permittivity, you'll need to create a custom Object. You can have a look at how AnisotropicObject is implemented and do something similar (or subclass it).
Good luck 🙂
