 Embedded Boundary Conditions
-----------------------------

 * ``warpx.eb_implicit_function`` (`string`)
     A function of `x`, `y`, `z` that defines the surface of the embedded
     boundary. That surface lies where the function value is 0 ;
     the physics simulation area is where the function value is negative ;
-    the interior of the embeddded boundary is where the function value is positive.
+    the interior of the embedded boundary is where the function value is positive.
+
+* ``eb2.geom_type = stl`` (`string`, default: empty) and ``eb2.stl_file`` (`string` with a filepath to a STL file)
+    Alternatively to defining an embedded boundary via an implicit function, one can load
+    a computer-aided design (CAD) file in the `STL file format <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format)>`__.
+    `See the AMReX documentation for more details <https://amrex-codes.github.io/amrex/docs_html/EB.html>`__.
 
 * ``warpx.eb_potential(x,y,z,t)`` (`string`)
     Gives the value of the electric potential at the surface of the embedded boundary,
