FixSumCoilCurrents
will only fix the sum of the currents of the coils that have unique params in the coilset. An intended use for this objective is to fix currents in coils to sum to the amount2*pi *G/mu_0
dictated by the equilibrium and Ampere's law #1111 . However for aCoilSet
with sayNFP
symmetry, this objective will only be summing up over a single field period, and so it will have to sum to2*pi *G/mu_0 / NFP
instead. If the coilset has stellarator symmetry as well, it should target2*pi *G/mu_0 / NFP/ 2
This does not really need to be in the docstring but maybe in a future update to the coil tutorial we could use this for one of the constraints
