@timothy-nunn @jonmaddock You can see just how useful it will be to have all the variable descriptions in a single place, and to have diagrams in one or more of the output files!

For what it's worth, I would go with something like "Inboard TF coil case: plasma-side thickness", except that this doesn't make clear whether it is measured on the midline.

Figure 2 illustrates the two plasma side casing configurations. image
I suggest removing this switch, and allowing only the rounded plasma-side case (option 0).

The line with `casthi` doesn't relate to the centre-line and should be removed.  The right hand column represents the thickness dimensions on the midline, which doesn't have a name at present, so it should read something like this:

Inboard TF coil case: plasma-side thickness 0.158 4.561

I am looking at the cable pack problem and the magnet dimensions as the two are inter related.
