I agree with you but the general definition of stellarator symmetry should also include an anti-symmetry relations. For example, a stellarator symmetric equilibrium satisfies R(theta, zeta)= R(-theta, -zeta) AND Z(theta,...

Unlikely, but I can try.

:rofl: After using #1166 it actually looks worse. Run the test script with the data shared in this issue and you shall see this. If you don't want to use...

The alignment can be fixed using the flip_theta function from desc.compat.

Yes, flip_theta function works in a way that after using it you get min(B) at theta = zeta = 0 instead of max(B) at theta=zeta=0. For the two or three...

Two places where we can improve GammaC: 1. When we bounce average the radial and binormal drifts, we can eliminate the denominator integral(tau) since we only care about bounce-avg(normal)/bounce-avg(binormal). 2....

I have tried this for SIMSOPT to convert a geqdsk to VMEC and then optimize it but I got stuck, probably due to the deficiencies of VMEC. I think I...

```python3 plt.figure() theta_grid = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 300) zeta_grid = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 300) grid = LinearGrid(rho=1.0, theta=theta_grid, zeta=zeta_grid) fig = plot_3d(eq, name="|B|", grid=grid) fig.update_traces( colorbar=dict( tickfont=dict(size=58), #...

Another big code-related change would be to create a PR from a branch on the DESC repo, not on a fork from your repo. I don't remember how but it...

Max J optimization usually works by taking the derivatives of J which end up being bounce averages of cvdrift and gbdrift as done in the bounce average shifted circle test.
