  • csg_format (str) – The format of the CSG input file, options are ‘openmc_xml’ or ‘mcnp’

  • output_filename (str, optional) – The filename stem and path of the output file created. Two files will be created with the ‘.step’ suffix and one with the ‘FCStd’ suffix. Defaults to ‘cad_from_csg’.

classmethod from_json(filename)[source]#

Creates a CadToCsg instance, runs CadToCsg.load_Step_file(), runs CadToCsg.start() and returns the instance. Populating the arguments for the methods that are run by looking for keys with the same name as the method in the JSON file. For example CadToCsg.start() accepts arguments for Options, Tolerance, Settings and NumericFormat and can be populated from matching key names in the JSON.

Parameters:

str (filename) – The filename of the config file.

Raises:

  • FileNotFoundError – If the config file is not found

  • ValueError – If the config JSON file is found to contain an invalid key

Returns:

returns a geouned CadToCsg class instance.

Return type:

geouned.CadToCsg
