add option to heal

[shimwell]

the autoheal is sometimes useful so this should be an option

Thanks to @makeclean for the suggestion

[shimwell]

validate vol all is also recommended

[bohmt]

Consider also adding:
autoheal analyze vol all

[shimwell]

autoheal catches a few things that validate misses

[shimwell]

both validate and autoheal this should be run just after loading the cad files

[shimwell]

added to main branch in PR #45

Looks like the python api command might be slightly different as I just noticed the error

Hey Jonathan, recently started using this one locally. Syntax is healer autoheal volume [ids]

Also on that note, the reason I usually have needed to heal is following a scaling operation. But I just noticed that if I use the .stl format then the units are preserved and there's no need to scale. Is there a reason .stl isn't included as an import option here/any interest in incorporating that?

[shimwell]

Hi Luke, it would be great to see autoheal as an option for the users. Perhaps a boolean flag could be used to control that. Perhaps it could default to current behavior (false).

I've not added an STL import option but that would be nice, I assume Cubit supports it.

PRs welcome.

Sounds good. Just submitted a short pr with both stl import and autoheal options. It did not pass the test scripts, but I think it's because this link is no longer valid: https://github.com/fusion-energy/neutronics_workflow/archive/refs/tags/v0.0.2.tar.gz.

I tried both features on local files and it seemed to work ok. Let me know what you think.
