Presently, the code is used for transport simulations of [[Tokamak|tokamak]] and [[Stellarator|stellarator]] plasmas. If used for tokamak plasmas, the Grad-Shafranov equation can be used to update the geometry as the plasma current density and pressure evolve. In the case of stellarators, the geometry can be taken from experimental files where the most relevant metric coefficients and magnitudes are defined. | Presently, the code is used for transport simulations of [[Tokamak|tokamak]] and [[Stellarator|stellarator]] plasmas.
