FitsGeo: package for PHITS geometry development

FitsGeo

FitsGeo is a Python package simplifying time consuming part of work related to geometry development in particle transport Monte Carlo code PHITS (other codes can be added in future releases). We assume that user need to create an input file for PHITS code for his future research and default way of creation geometry may be a bit difficult especially with complicated geometry cases. Also, visualization of created geometry in PHITS is very limited which makes process of geometry construction way more difficult. FitsGeo simplifies this process, user can define geometry surfaces as Python objects with all coming benefits. Visualization based on VPython, so all defined surfaces in user geometry is purely 3D and can be viewed in browser from any point of view.

FitsGeo works under any operating system: only Python 3 interpreter with additional modules (listed below) have to be installed. Very basic skills in programming with Python required. FitsGeo provides bunch of usage examples, which demonstrate basic workflow.

Quick installation guide

Install latest Python 3 interpreter and pip tool, then type in console:

pip install FitsGeo

or:

pip3 install FitsGeo

Requirements

Additional modules for FitsGeo use (automatically install via pip tool):

• vpython>=7.6.1
• numpy>=1.16.2
• scipy>=1.2.2
• pandas>=0.25.1

All modules listed in requirements.txt.
