[sparta-users] Creating Geometries/surfaces in SPARTA

[<kyl...@gm...>]

I am aware of the pizza.py toolkit, but I am having issues installing/using
the tools. There was a syntax change going to Python version 3.  Since newer
versions of Linux distros like Ubuntu depend on Python 3, I cannot downgrade
the system version.  There should be away to have an older version
concurrently on the system to run older python scripts.  I am tempted to see
if I can get lucky semiautomated tools like '2to3' to convert the older
python syntax to the newer syntax for the pizza.py tools. I suspect the
situation is a little more complicated than that.

 

However, the structure of the 2D surface files is simple enough that I can
manually create surface files or use a simple program in another language to
parse surf files.  Yet, I might need to do 3D geometries for something else
in the future.
