VMEC inputs #1298

Open Alan-Goodman opened 2 weeks ago

Alan-Goodman commented 2 weeks ago

Clearer instructions to load a vmec input file (not from the command line, and without specifying e.g. profiles in code) would be useful:)

We could probably add a from_input_file method to Equilibrium and EquilibriaFamily to streamline this

On a related note, a few people have asked me about an "easy" way to use VMEC input files that use splines for profiles. I think this might be possible?

Kicking this particular can down the line #183
