Finds the bounding box of a DAGMC geometry file.
The bounding box is a pair of coordinates that define the upper right and lower left corner of the geometry.
This which is particularly useful when assigning a regular mesh tally over the entire DAGMC geometry.
Using Pip
pip install dagmc_bounding_box
Using Conda
conda install -c fusion-energy -c conda-forge dagmc_bounding_box
Find the bounding box
from dagmc_bounding_box import DagmcBoundingBox
my_corners = DagmcBoundingBox("dagmc.h5m").corners()
print(my_corners)
>>> ((-100, -100, -100), (100, 100, 100))
Extend the bounding box
from dagmc_bounding_box import DagmcBoundingBox
my_corners = DagmcBoundingBox("dagmc.h5m").corners(extend=(10, 5, 2)
print(my_corners)
>>> ((-110, -105, -102), (110, 105, 102))
