Porting .ply files to Blender with colors?
by Jill P. Naiman 15 Aug '22

15 Aug '22

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

Variance in phase/profiles
by david collins 11 Apr '20

11 Apr '20

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.

3-D Mass power spectra
by 梁家豪 03 Jun '19

03 Jun '19

Dear yt Can current yt calculate 3-D Mass power spectra? I checked the website but I didn't find any information. I think calculating 3-D Mass power spectra is a very useful for cosmological simulations. So I guess maybe yt supports this function now....? Thanks in advance

clump finding density threshold problem
by Stephanie Tonnesen 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Hi all, I am trying to find clumps in a few wind-tunnel runs of a galaxy with ram pressure stripping, so that I can measure the mass, volume, etc. I want to make sure, then, that I know how clump finder is selecting its contours. Unfortunately, I am not getting the minimum densities that I am expecting--although not all the time! I have used IsolatedGalaxy and run the same clump finder routine, but with different maximum densities for the contours. To reproduce my error I had to make the step size smaller--here I am using step = 1.1. Basically, I am not always stepping up my minimum density contour, even when the maximum density in the clump makes it clear I *should* be. I am attaching the script where I have cmax = 9.0e-24, which shows the error. You can see that in the figure I attach, looking at the green triangles. The y-axis is the maximum density in a clump, the x-axis is the minimum density. To guide your eye I have drawn lines at each step. Basically, no point should be above a black line and to the left of the connected vertical line (because then the max value is above the next possible minimum in the steps) *unless* the cmax value was reached. To make this really clear if you look at the upper-left green triangle, the max density is ~7e-24 while the minimum density is ~3.6e-24--there are a lot of steps between those values--why is the minimum density not 6.68e-24? Strangely enough, this problem does *not* show up when I have cmax = 6.7e-24 (cyan circles). I write out the max and min values in a text file at the end of the script, so I also attach the little script I use to make the figure. Any help would be *much* appreciated! Thank you all, Stephanie -- Dr. Stephanie Tonnesen Associate Research Scientist CCA, Flatiron Institute New York, NY stonnes(a)gmail.com

Question about yt.ParticlePlot
by sflarkin＠ucsc.edu 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

Hello all, I have a question about the ParticlePlot function. I am currently using the ParticlePlot function to plot the coordinates of all the particles. I was wondering if it was possible to plot a subset of the particles only, like only the particles of a certain mass or of a certain type in multimass or star/dark matter simulations. I am aware that it is possible to apply a filter to the yt.ProjectionPlot function, but do not see anything like this in the yt.ParticlePlot docs. Thanks!

[ART] Trying to See Highest Resolution Regions
by sflarkin＠ucsc.edu 19 Feb '19

19 Feb '19

Hello all! I am trying to find the highest resolution regions in an ART simulation. I have tried using the method outlined here http://yt-project.org/doc/analyzing/filtering.html under cut regions. I have attempted to used a filter of the 'level', 'grid_level' field to find only regions where the grid level is 12, and apply it. I have a feeling I am making a mistake with the yt plotting functions. Here is my sample code I am using, which I just modified from the filtering page. https://bpaste.net/show/1c58d3137d7f And here is the error I am getting: https://bpaste.net/show/8cb6c1c61f49 Now the grid_ad is filled with a bunch of 12 level grids, so I am not sure how the full of nan is happening. Is it something I am doing wrong? I can attach the generated images as well, but am not sure the best way to do that. Thanks!

[RAMSES] trouble depositing a particle field which has been filtered based on a derived field?
by lhw28＠cam.ac.uk 07 Feb '19

07 Feb '19

Hi, I am using YT to process the outputs of a non-standard RAMSES-RT simulation (non-standard in the sense that it uses custom particle/hydro variables), and it works excellently for almost everything. However I am now trying to make plots of the surface star formation rate density, and have hit an obstacle which I can't seem to surmount. Specifically I want to estimate the SFRD by looking at all star particles that formed recently, which requires correctly processing the particle birth times. This seems to be a tricky business in RAMSES, as depending on the type of the simulation run (cosmological/RT/etc) the particle time units are different. Luckily for this particular case I have separate output files which contain the star particle formation times in the correct physical units (e.g. Gyr). What I would like to do is load these in, override the "star_age" field of the star particles, and then use that to filter out the star particles that formed recently. I have tried this and it seems to work well, up until I want to deposit this filtered particle field. At this point the code fails with the NeedsGridType and YTIllDefinedFilter exceptions. Here's a minimal working example: ################################################################################ #!/usr/bin/env python3 import yt from yt.data_objects.particle_filters import add_particle_filter from yt import YTArray import numpy as np from scipy.io import FortranFile # Load outputs of non-standard RAMSES-RT run particles = [("particle_birth_time", "d"), ("particle_metallicity", "d"), ("particle_initial_mass", "d")] fields = ["Density", "x-velocity", "y-velocity", "z-velocity", "nontp", "Pressure", "Metallicity", "HI", "HII", "HeII", "HeIII", "ivar_ref"] ds = yt.load("output_00050/info_00050.txt", fields=fields, extra_particle_fields=particles) # Add initial filter to distinguish star particles def _stars(pfilter, data): return data[("io", "conformal_birth_time")] != 0 # star particles add_particle_filter("stars", function=_stars, filtered_type="all", requires=["conformal_birth_time"]) ds.add_particle_filter("stars") # Get star formation times in Gyr # (Based on pynbody's get_tform, read in star formation time from converted # output) def convert_times(): ages = np.array([]) base = "output_00050/birth_00050." ncpu = 1024 nstar = 0 for i in range(ncpu): fname = base + "out{:05d}".format(i + 1) with FortranFile(fname) as birth_file: read_ages = birth_file.read_reals(np.float64) new = np.where(read_ages > 0)[0] # star particles only nstar += len(new) ages = np.append(ages, read_ages[new]) return nstar, ages nstar, stellar_ages = convert_times() # Override existing ("stars", "star_age") field with correct values def _stellar_age(field, data): return data.ds.current_time - YTArray(stellar_ages, "Gyr") ds.add_field(("stars", "star_age"), function=_stellar_age, units="Myr", particle_type=True, force_override=True) # Filter stars born within past 10 Myr def _new_stars(pfilter, data): age = data[(pfilter.filtered_type, "star_age")].in_units("Myr") mask = np.logical_and(age.in_units("Myr") <= 10, age > 0.0) return mask add_particle_filter("new_stars", function=_new_stars, filtered_type="stars", requires=["star_age"]) ds.add_particle_filter("new_stars") # Create new deposit field with estimate of recent star formation rate density def _star_formation(field, data): stellar_density = data[("deposit", "new_stars_density")] stellar_age = ds.quan(10, "Myr") return stellar_density / stellar_age ds.add_field(("deposit", "sfr"), function=_star_formation, units="Msun/kpc**3/yr", sampling_type="cell") # Define a region of interest to project over centre = ds.arr([0.5, 0.5, 0.5], "code_length") fwidth = ds.quan(0.1, "code_length") left_edge = centre - (fwidth/2)*1.1 right_edge = centre + (fwidth/2)*1.1 box = ds.box(left_edge=left_edge, right_edge=right_edge) proj = ds.proj(field=("deposit", "sfr"), axis="z", weight_field=None, center=centre, data_source=box) ################################################################################ The short summary of the error output is as follow: ################################################################################ yt.fields.field_exceptions.NeedsGridType: (0, None) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: yt.utilities.exceptions.YTIllDefinedFilter: Filter '<yt.data_objects.particle_filters.ParticleFilter object at 0x7f04591b2390>' ill-defined. Applied to shape (0, 3) but is shape (14150626,). ################################################################################ I was wondering if I am making a mistake somewhere, or if perhaps I'm simply going about this in the wrong way? The issue seems to revolve around using data[("deposit", "new_stars_density")]; if for example I instead use data[("deposit", "stars_density")] in the _star_formation() function then it all works fine. Many thanks in advance for any help! Lewis
