deform

Box deformation operations for MD simulations.

Box deformers apply time-dependent changes to the simulation box, including both the box lengths and tilt factors. Unlike hoomd.update.BoxResize, the corresponding rates of deformation are calculated and applied to the velocities through the periodic boundary conditions. The update also occurs every time step as part of the integration step.
