cadto-dagmc aims to produce DAGMC compatible h5m files from CAD geometry is intended to convert [STEP](http://www.steptools.com/stds/step/) files or [CadQuery](https://cadquery.readthedocs.io) objects to a [DAGMC](https://github.com/svalinn/DAGMC/) compatible h5m file.

cad-to-dagmc aims to produce DAGMC compatible h5m files from CAD geometry is intended to convert [STEP](http://www.steptools.com/stds/step/) files or [CadQuery](https://cadquery.readthedocs.io) objects to a [DAGMC](https://github.com/svalinn/DAGMC/) compatible h5m file.

The resulting DAGMC geometry can then be used for simulations in [OpenMC](https://github.com/openmc-dev/openmc/) or [other supported codes](https://svalinn.github.io/DAGMC/).

This package is tested with [pytest tests](https://github.com/fusion-energy/cad_to_dagmc/tree/main/tests) and also the DAGMC geometry made with this package is compared to simulation carried out with native constructive solid geometry, see [Model Benchmark Zoo](https://github.com/fusion-energy/model_benchmark_zoo) for more details.

Also checkout these other software projects that also create DAGMC geometry [CAD-to-OpenMC](https://github.com/openmsr/CAD_to_OpenMC), [Stellarmesh](https://github.com/Thea-Energy/stellarmesh) and [Coreform Cubit](https://coreform.com/products/coreform-cubit/)

# Install using pip
## Install using pip and source compilations

It is possible to avoid the use of conda and installing using pip and compiling from source.

First compile MOAB (and install Pymoab) from source

Then install cadquery and ocp using pip

```bash
pip install cadquery-ocp==7.7.2
pip install cadquery==2.4.0
```

Then you can install the cad_to_dagmc package with ```pip```

```bash
pip install cad_to_dagmc
