Porting .ply files to Blender with colors?
by Jill P. Naiman Aug. 15, 2022

Aug. 15, 2022

Hi All, I was curious if anyone has had any luck porting .ply files generated with yt into Blender with colors? It seems to port in the surfaces just fine, but they are a uniform color. From what I can gather, Blender imports .ply files with face color instead of vertex so I tried the surf.export_ply routine with "face" instead of "vertex" for sample_type, but no luck ("vertex" doesn't work either). Let me know if I can provide any more useful info. Thanks for any help, -J

Stars on volume rendering

Hi all, Thanks for all your help over the last couple of days. One more question: - Can I plot particles on a volume rendered image? I have stars and I want to show where they are!

Variance in phase/profiles
by david collins April 11, 2020

April 11, 2020

Hi, Everybody! Does anyone out there have a technique for getting the variance out of a profile object? A profile object is good at getting <X> vs. B, I'd then like to get < (X - <X>)^2 > vs B. Matt and I had spittballed the possibility some time ago, but I was wondering if anyone out there had successfully done it. Thanks, d. -- Sent from my computer.

RAMSES multiple sims memory issue
by Thor Andreas Seiff Ellewsen Jan. 2, 2017

Jan. 2, 2017

Hi all, I'm working on a project where I'm comparing different RAMSES simulations. However I'm running into a problem with memory. It seems that yt loads the whole simulation into memory even though I'm only interested in a number of dark matter halos which I have the coordinates for. It also seems like it doesn't drop the first simulation out of memory when I'm done making the figures I want for that one. This quickly fills up the memory. You can find the relevant parts of my code at the pastebin at http://paste.yt/p4946.html I'm running yt version 3.3.2 What am I doing wrong? Also, is there a way to change the axis names? I'm making some dark matter density profiles using the ('deposit','io_density') field and this gives IO Density on the y axis, but I just want it to say Dark matter density so my readers actually understand what I'm talking about. Thanks for helping Best, Andreas Ellewsen

Accessing scalar fields in ramses
by mohammad safarzadeh Dec. 21, 2016

Dec. 21, 2016

Hi all, I have been running zoom simulations with with two scalar fields, 1-metallicity, 2-rpgas. Therefore I run ramses compiled with NVAR=8. when I load the dataset with YT, I see “metallicity”,“var6” and “var7” where var6 and 7 are for Rpgas and zoom sim (as ramses treats zoom sim itself as a scalar variable). When I turned on the delayed cooling, which is yet another scalar field in ramses, I compiled and run the code with NVAR=9. However, YT still sees two variables and I don’t see any “var8” in the field_list. In other words I have three scalar fields but YT is not detecting them. Is there a way around this? Thank you very much, All best, Mohammad -- Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh, Ph.D. http://www.mtsafarzadeh.com

ANN: Release of Trident--A Synthetic Spectral Generation Code
by Cameron Hummels Dec. 14, 2016

Dec. 14, 2016

We are pleased to announce the official release of Trident, a universal, Python-based, open-source tool for post-processing hydrodynamics simulations to produce synthetic absorption spectra and related data. Trident's features include: --Creates absorption-line spectra for any trajectory through a simulated dataset --Reproduces the spectral characteristics of common spectrographs like COS --Operates across the ultraviolet, optical and infrared using customizable absorption line lists --Traces simulated physical structures directly to spectral features --Approximates the presence of ion species absent from the simulation outputs --Generates column density maps for any ion --Provides support for all major astrophysical hydrodynamical codes. --Fully parallelizable using MPI and MPI4PY --Built as an extension of the yt analysis code <http://yt-project.org> For more information about its features, including a video demonstrating its use, and links to its documentation and source code, please see our website: http://trident-project.org . There is an accompanying method paper that was released today on the arXiv available at: https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.03935 Please spread word of this announcement to others who might be interested.

Accessing some derived fields

Last Week to Apply for Python in Astronomy 2017
by Stuart Mumford Dec. 5, 2016

Dec. 5, 2016

Hello all, This a quick (and final) reminder that the deadline for applications to Python in Astronomy 2017 is this *Friday 9th December*. The conference will be held on 8th - 12th May 2017 at the Lorentz Center in Leiden, the Netherlands. Please fill out this form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfFvzolQvW5PJRbgIoPs73t4LgMIDNX2lX…> to apply. The Python in Astronomy conferences aim to bring together a wide variety of people who currently use, develop or teach people about Python packages in the context of all forms of Astronomy. Participant selection will be made with the goal of growing the Python in Astronomy community and we particularly encourage requests to attend from junior astronomers and people who are new to contributing to open source software. This conference is neither intended to be an introduction to Python bootcamp nor only for expert-level Python developers, but we do expect all participants to have at least a basic familiarity with Python. Please fill out the application and indicate the level of financial support you will likely require in order to attend. Once the participants have been selected, we’ll get back in touch with everyone about their specific financial support requirements. See http://openastronomy.org/pyastro/2017/ for more information. Stuart Mumford, SOC Chair Matt Craig Kelle Cruz Daniela Huppenkothen Abigail Stevens Erik Tollerud
