As long as some do something with Julia?

Try to find time, to understand “String” chapter in documentation. I read it once, but I don’t get it.

Still simulating Ferroelectric materials with JuAFEM. Just finished implementing a way to include non-local interactions, next up is trying to figure out a way to go from a coarse mesh down to a refined mesh in the correct areas. Spent all yesterday trying to figure out how to remesh a tetrahedral mesh and got nowhere 😃

FinEtools has a function for octasection of tetrahedral mesh. And conversion from and to quadratic tets.

Hi all, I hope @oxinabox’s thesis is going well 😛

The thing I’ve been working on is making a plotting tool for exploring fusion reactors.

// i.e. simplifying the problem to a 20 input variable based univariate root solve

* * *

An old thesis draft can be found [here](https://djsegal.github.io/masters/main.pdf), but the main thing I’m asking for is help!

Can you guys try booting up this jupyter binder and telling me if it works?

- [www.fusion.codes](http://fusion.codes)

// note: it does take a second to load (like that old tetris one)

* * *

**edit:** working implies that the plots and interact.jl play together nicely – hopefully on windows, firefox, etc.

(there is a known issue where the screen bounces a little from button presses)

seriously though. it would be really helpful if people tried out [fusion.codes](http://fusion.codes)

// it’s really hard to test something like this cross-platform 😬

- Seems to work fine on my computer (Ubuntu 16.04, firefox 62.0).
- The load time was indeed very long.
- The text on the figures is too small to read.
- When you click somewhere you are transported back to the middle of the page, so you cannot keep your eyes on the figure to see how it changes
- The legend box sometimes hides part of points on the figure

Sorry, reading my message again I realise that my comments were extremely dry !

I also want to say that the whole app seems to work well, it responds very quickly and seems a nice piece of work in spite of the few glitches I pointed out.

**edit:** I think I fixed most of the issues with the [gui](http://fusion.codes)!

1. As for long load times, I don’t know how to fix that (as plots take a while and binder takes a while)
2. And making the legend work for every plot seems kind of difficult. There is a toggle to hide it though!

Again, thanks for your help. I’d have thought everything was working fine without you 🙂

Hey @djsegal want to help me out at [JuliaFusion](https://github.com/JuliaFusion)? So far I just have stuff I worked on my thesis but I’m hoping to add tools for working with plasma profiles and other infrastructural tools.

I’d be interested. I’ve seen @namurphy has been playing around with julia a little too.

Are many people at diii-d using Julia? Down to talk more offline

I think it’s just me using Julia at the moment at DIII-D and I don’t expect that to change anytime soon as people have just now started using Python instead of IDL. Convincing people to switch languages so soon after they just did is a tall order. However, I’m hoping with JuliaFusion we can convert the matlab holdouts and HPC people who can’t use Python for their work. I’ve talked with Nick at a few APS meetings; it would be great if he wanted to help out.

where’s the code that produces the “app”? looks neat! (and seems to work fine on ubuntu+firefox)

this week I am going to submit my thesis.

(but like actually, I really am, it is being printed and the forms are just waiting for once more signature.  
EDIT: ahahahahah, actually maybe not, the binding machine has broke XD, but definitely in the next 7 days.
