ThermalEnergy units
by Elizabeth Tasker May 16, 2011

May 16, 2011

Hi, Really quick query --- When I do a slice of the ThermalEnergy, the units come out as ergs/cm3. Shouldn't it be ergs/g ? Thanks, Elizabeth

Covering Fraction / Solid angle
by Elizabeth Harper-Clark May 16, 2011

May 16, 2011

Hi Guys, Is there a way to quantify values in yt by solid angle around a point? For example I have a simulation of star clusters forming within a turbulent GMC. When a bubble is present I want to calculate the covering fraction of the shell. One way to do this would be using where the radiation pressure is absorbed and calculate the fraction of solid angle (around the oldest cluster) radiation pressure is absorbed above a minimum value out to a given radius. See attached for projections of … [View More]

Halo Profiler

The halo profiler is supposed to take just the path to the dataset. It should do the load call in the halo profiler. I'm not sure why that would be happening.

The subdirectory in there called advanced_examples contains the scripts needed to make the image in the test_frames directory in there. Specifically, those scripts can make the image which has particles overlaid that are colored by age and sized by mass. I think that will be perfect for what you're working on. > > > > I've also attached a script for running the halo profiler to make radial profiles of all the halos in your simulation. Something you might find useful in there is that I've added profile fields for stellar_density, StarAgeYrs, and StarMetallicity.

iterating through data in AMRCoveringGrid
by Elizabeth Tasker May 13, 2011

May 13, 2011

Hi, I want to write a script in yt that reads in data from a simulation output, extracts a 3-dimensional grid from it of a set size at a fixed resolution and then iterate through the data points calculating various properties. I think I can do this using covering_grid using the example in the cookbook: cube = pf.h.covering_grid(4, left_edge=[16.4299, 10.8963, 16.0], right_edge=[18.4299, 12.8963, 16.02], dims=[… [View More]

Memory Error in parallelHF

I'm getting a memory error running parallelHF on Ranger. Is this a bug or is there some sort of way to request more memory in my job script?

Control of thread/program not returning to ipython after creating a plot
by Jean-Claude Passy May 13, 2011

May 13, 2011

Hi all, I am analyzing some MESA data using iyt instead of a regular ipython. Everything works well except that when I make a plot with yt, control is not returning to the prompt. I have tried to start yt with different thread options (-gthread, -qthread, -q4thread and -wthread) but none of them worked. My version of yt is built with python 2.7.1. The weird thing is that it works smoothly with a regular version of ipython built from python 2.6.4. I would really appreciate if someone … [View More]

Profiles, root grid
by david collins May 10, 2011

May 10, 2011

Hi there-- I'd like to add a profile object using only the root grid. I typically do something like this: pc.add_profile_object(region,fields, weight=weight) Is there a way to restrict this to only root grid tiles? I've tried using a covering grid, but that's throwing some key error (that I'm looking into presently, I'll have more info if/as I sort it out) Thanks, d. -- Sent from my computer.
