PyGeometry first draft

[RobPasMue]

Let's get a first version of the Geometry client out!

Related tasks:

• Create a base repository + docs repos for getting things started
• Implement basic entity objects. Linked to Classes to prototype #13
• Implement units handling using pint. Linked to Start the units subpackage #2
• Create a plotting module for visualizing the entity objects. Linked to Implement plotting subpackage #3
• Create a math/algebra module for operations with entity objects. Linked to Classes to prototype #13
• Conceive a simple client to connect to a gRPC server. Linked to Add connection module exposing grpc server implementation #36
• Add tests
• Add documentation: API reference automatically generated + basic PyAnsys sections. Linked to Improve documentation sections #5
• Add examples. Linked to Add examples to show the creation, interaction and plotting of the datamodel #4

• Create a units module for handling conversions. Define ISU (i.e. metric) as reference and implement working mechanisms for that. Linked to Start the units subpackage #2

Simply use pint.

• Create a plotting module for visualizing the entity objects. Linked to Implement plotting subpackage #3

Generalize this. I can have the potential new hire work on this. Don't bother with plotting for this first pass.

Create a math/algebra module for operations with entity objects.

Reuse pyvista as much as possible as VTK's been tested out. See methods like https://docs.pyvista.org/api/core/_autosummary/pyvista.DataSet.transform.html

The idea was generalizing it, yes. In the sense that all objects can be plotted.

my_obj.plot()

But we could also have a ScenePlotter (or similar) which would allow us to feed it multiple objects and plot them all together. I'll give it a second thought anyway. Thanks @akaszynski! And we will definitely be using PyVista. It was on the roadmap ;)

Main tasks in this issue are finished, only documentation improvement ones are missing
