Unable to import KiCAD files

Hi, I know your program could create .KiCAD files. I'm interesting to import files create with KiCAD to import and analyse them with pyems.
Is it possible to do it ?
This is not possible with pyems and probably won't be supported. If you have a workflow that you think may be useful to others feel free to share it and maybe it will change my mind. However, I don't currently feel that kicad is particularly good at creating precise microwave structures.
In any event, pcbmodelgen is a tool that is intended to do exactly this. I haven't used it much so I can't speak to how well it works.
An alternative solution would be to export from kicad to hyperlynx and then to import that into openems (tutorial). Kicad has at least some support for hyperlynx, although last I checked it needed work.
