That would be great, thanks! On Sun, Apr 21, 2013 at 3:11 PM, Brian O'Shea wrote:

Dear Andrew,

I can't speak for anybody else, but I think that sounds like a very useful piece of code to have included in yt. Thank you!

Hi Folks,

radmc3d http://www.ita.uni-heidelberg.de/~dullemond/software/radmc-3d/is a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code that can produce spectra and images for dust continuum and line radiation. I've written some code to save out a yt dataset into the format it uses for its AMR input files. It needs some cleaning up and documentation, but if this is something other people are interested in, I'd be happy to try to add it to yt code base. In principle, this would let any code with a yt frontend interface with radmc3d without too much hassle.

Hi Brian, David, and Matt, Thanks - I'll check out the sunrise exporter analysis mod and try to incorporate my code in the same manner. Matt - it uses an ASCII file to describe the AMR hierarchy in a pretty straightforward manner, with the wrinkle that grids may not have more than one parent. So I had to do a little bit of work to re-grid the data in such a way that fine grids never cross a coarse grid boundary. I'll ask the list or in IRC if I need any help getting this into yt, but I don't think it should be too bad. Thanks, Andrew On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 4:14 AM, Matthew Turk wrote:

I think this would be a nice addition. We have the ability to export to Sunrise, which lives inside an analysis module, and this could be a good addition in the same vein. What format does it use?

Perhaps it would belong inside the analysis_modules directory, like the sunrise_exporter does. I don't think you'd need to add extensive documentation, but perhaps a recipe to the yt-doc repository would be enough (and doc strings).

Thanks very much, and let me know if I can help,

Matt
