coil-geom 0.2.17

Parametric coil and inductor geometry generator

coil-geom

coil-geom is a Python package for generating and visualizing coil and inductor geometries using clean, parametric definitions. It is designed for engineering, scientific visualization, and symbolic / schematic-style plotting.

• Pure geometry first (NumPy-friendly)
• Save coil geometry data as PPTX, SVG, and PDF
• Suitable for electronics, physics, and CAD-style workflows

Coil Types There are four types of coil geometry:

1. Circle Coil
2. Ellipse Coil
3. Ellipse Coil with Curvature Similarity
4. Ellipse Coil with Shape Similarity

Each coil geometry consists of three parts: primary coil(circle or ellipse) and transition coil(circle or ellipse). Primary coil can be a circle or an ellipse. Transition coil also can be a circle or an ellipse. CircleCoil has two primary circles and a transition circle in-betweens. EllipseCoil has two primary ellipses and a transition circle in-betweens. EllipseCoilShape has two primary ellipses and an transition ellipse with shape similarity. EllipseCoilCurvature has two primary ellipses and a transition ellipse with curvature similarity).
