desc.grid.QuadratureGrid

class desc.grid.QuadratureGrid(L, M, N, NFP=1)

Grid used for numerical quadrature.

Exactly integrates a Fourier-Zernike basis of resolution (L,M,N) This grid is never symmetric.

Parameters:

• L (int) – radial grid resolution (exactly integrates radial modes up to order L)

• M (int) – poloidal grid resolution (exactly integrates poloidal modes up to order M)

• N (int) – toroidal grid resolution (exactly integrates toroidal modes up to order N)

• NFP (int) – number of field periods (Default = 1)

Methods

change_resolution(L, M, N[, NFP])	Change the resolution of the grid.
copy([deepcopy])	Return a (deep)copy of this object.
eq(other)	Compare equivalence between DESC objects.
load(load_from[, file_format])	Initialize from file.
save(file_name[, file_format, file_mode])	Save the object.
