Alpha and beta ranges in OperatingPoint may need tighter restriction #106

Description

@camUrban

Bug Description

OperatingPoint currently restricts alpha and beta to the range (-180.0, 180.0], but this may still be too permissive. Large absolute values within this range may cause silent numerical failures in the solvers.

Location(s): pterasoftware/operating_point.py

Expected Behavior

If testing reveals that extreme alpha or beta values (within the current (-180.0, 180.0] range) break the solvers, the ranges should be tightened with a clear error or warning.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create an OperatingPoint with alpha or beta set to extreme values within the current allowed range (e.g., 90, 179).
  2. Run a steady solver and inspect the results for numerical issues.

Additional Context

This issue is referenced by a TODO comment in OperatingPoint.
