cadquery-direct-mesh-plugin

CadQuery plugin to go directly from a CadQuery assembly to a mesh without relying on Gmsh.

Goals

• Should not require gmsh or an external meshing library.
• Allow imprinting of assemblies as a default, but also support standard assemblies.
• As a baseline, it should work with this method from cad_to_dagmc.
• Prevent duplication of vertices between shared edges between faces.
• Needs to respect surface sense, both via vertex winding and possibly via a moab tag.
• Should be able to handle all of the test cases outlined in the model benchmark zoo.
• If duplicate faces are found, needs to handle the flipping of the surface sense.
• Ability to minimize the number of facets generated (tolerance and angular_tolerance parameters).

Stretch Goals

• Generate volume meshes.
• Support pip-installable moab.
