Add direction of material deposition #128

Closed Rombur closed 2 years ago

Rombur commented 2 years ago

This is the first PR to support deposition of anisotropic material. This PR adds support for reading the deposition angle when we add material using the bounding boxes. When using the scan path to add material, I compute the angle, so there is no change in the input file. Two more things:

  1. in 2D, you need to provide the deposition angle but right now I don't use it. I don't know what it means to have a deposition angle in 2D. Should I get ride of it, use it, let the code as is?
  2. I wonder if there is a mistake in the README. We say that the unit of the scan path is in mm but the tests are done using values of the order of 10^-3. This makes me think that the values are in meters.
