[Simnibs-discuss] TMS optimization

[Axel Thielscher]

Dear Giacomo,

to make sure we understand correctly: You only  want to optimize the 
coil orientation, but keep the center position fixed?

How different is the last column? Small shifts can occur because the 
position is aligned to the closest skin node at some parts of the code 
(we will change this behavoir at some point in the future).

Best regards,

Axel
