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.

Ytini installation for Houdini on Windows
by uran san 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

Hi guys, I am very new to Ytini's mailing list, mailing lists as well as Houdini. So please bear with me while I pick up the etiquette around this medium. With that out of the way here's my first question: After having succeeded installing Ytini for Houdini on a Mac OS X 10.14 I would now like to achieve the same with my Houdini install on a Windows 10 OS. I have tried to somewhat reproduce all steps described here http://www.ytini.com/getstarted.html#collapseTwoOut (Houdini 17.5 Tested on Mac OS X) on my Windows machine but wasn't surprised to learn that of course Houdini could not find the ytini module when I tried to import it in the python shell. Is there somebody, that could point me . in the right direction of how to install Ytini for Houdini on a Windows 10 OS environment? Not afraid of reading so even hints a re more than welcome. Many Thanks in advance Ur4n

Covering grid dimensions
by andrea.husseiniova＠gmail.com 26 Jun '19

26 Jun '19

I'm working with a dataset from a particle-based simulation with 64^3 particles and am trying to create a covering grid so that I can create a 3D visualization (using volume rendering). I have a problem with the dimensions of that covering grid. A ProjectionPlot from the covering grid dataset only produces a 2x2x2 pixel plot even though the original dataset ProjectionPlot is a 64x64x64 plot. I tried defining the dimensions of the covering grid to be [64,64,64], which results in a 64 pixel wide plot however data is only present in the first 2x2x2 pixels and the rest of the plot is blank. The way I define my covering grid is shown below. Could someone please suggest a solution to this problem? cov_grid = ds.covering_grid(level=0, left_edge=[-1,-1,-1], dims=ds.domain_dimensions, fields=('deposit','PartType1_density')) #alternate version cov_grid = ds.covering_grid(level=32, left_edge=[-1,-1,-1], dims=[64,64,64], fields=('deposit','PartType1_density')) ds_new = cov_grid.save_as_dataset() grid_ds = yt.load(ds_new)

mass flux of gas in different temperature bins
by Stephanie Tonnesen 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Hi all, I am having some trouble figuring out how to calculate the mass flux as a function of z-position in a wind-tunnel simulation. I am running Enzo with 5 AMR levels. If I trying and make a 1d-profile with create_profile, I would have to make my bin sizes as small as the highest level of refinement, which means I have plenty of z values with zeros. I tried to make a covering_grid, thinking I could just deal with everything as arrays, but as I expected I run out of memory if I make a covering grid of the whole domain at max resolution. When I create a YTdisk region, I get an error when trying to make a covering_grid: AttributeError: 'YTDisk' object has no attribute 'covering_grid' I then tried to use the surface and calculate_flux commands: surf3 = ds.disk([0.5,0.5,0.5],[0., 0., 1.],(30,'kpc'),(100,'kpc')) surfu = ds.surface(surf3,"z",(54,"kpc")) fluxu = surfu.calculate_flux("x-velocity","y-velocity","z-velocity","density") at which point I get this error: ____________________________________________________ Traceback (most recent call last): File "yt_surface_flux.py", line 85, in <module> fluxu = surfu.calculate_flux("x-velocity","y-velocity","z-velocity","density") File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/data_objects/construction_data_containers.py", line 1269, in calculate_flux field_x, field_y, field_z, fluxing_field) File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/data_objects/construction_data_containers.py", line 1280, in _calculate_flux_in_grid vc_data = grid.get_vertex_centered_data(vc_fields) File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/data_objects/grid_patch.py", line 310, in get_vertex_centered_data cg = self.retrieve_ghost_zones(1, fields, smoothed=smoothed) File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/data_objects/grid_patch.py", line 272, in retrieve_ghost_zones **kwargs) File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/data_objects/construction_data_containers.py", line 927, in __init__ YTCoveringGrid.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/data_objects/construction_data_containers.py", line 555, in __init__ self.get_data(fields) File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/data_objects/construction_data_containers.py", line 642, in get_data if len(fill) > 0: self._fill_fields(fill) File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/data_objects/construction_data_containers.py", line 1003, in _fill_fields for chunk in ls.data_source.chunks(fields, "io"): File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/data_objects/data_containers.py", line 1263, in chunks self.get_data() # Ensure we have built ourselves File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/data_objects/data_containers.py", line 1306, in get_data self.index._identify_base_chunk(self) File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/geometry/grid_geometry_handler.py", line 289, in _identify_base_chunk gi = dobj.selector.select_grids(self.grid_left_edge, File "/mnt/home/stonnesen/yt-conda/yt/yt/data_objects/data_containers.py", line 1258, in selector self._selector = sclass(self) File "yt/geometry/selection_routines.pyx", line 860, in yt.geometry.selection_routines.RegionSelector.__init__ RuntimeError: Error: yt attempted to read outside the boundaries of a non-periodic domain along dimension 0.

Two possible solutions are to load a smaller regi on that does not border the edge or override the periodicity for this dataset. ___________________________________________ However, my simulated region is 300 kpc across, so I am not at the edge in any axis. I suppose I have 2 questions: can I make a covering_grid of a region of a simulation, or can I have some guidance on making the calculate_flux command work? Thanks in advance!!

Binning with create_profile
by Sam Patrick 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Hello, I'm trying to create a radial profile of the gas density using the create_profile function. Even with the extrema explicitly specified the binning does not take these values. I was wondering whether there was a simple way to work around this? My script and output are bellow: ds = yt.load("DD0077/output_0077") val, loc = ds.find_max('density') sp = ds.sphere(loc, (10.0, 'pc')) rp = yt.create_profile(sp, 'radius', ('gas', 'density'), n_bins= 10, extrema= {'radius':((1e-2, 'pc'), (10.0, 'pc'))}, logs= {'radius':True}) rp.x.in_units('pc') >>>YTArray([0.01497631, 0.02988167, 0.05962177, 0.11896107, 0.23735854, 0.47359256, 0.94494138, 1.88540592, 3.76187938, 7.50593617]) pc (where 0.01 and 10 are expected to be the first and last values) Many thanks, Sam Patrick

Problem with projection / YTQuantity values must be numeric
by José Mauricio Utreras 18 Jun '19

18 Jun '19

Hi all, Recently I have seen this error more often: >> raise RuntimeError("YTQuantity values must be numeric”) I have been able to solve most of the problems which were related with units (some packages behave differently if I do units*array or array*unit). However, I’m getting an error when I’m trying to project a field, and I don’t know how to solve that Code: . . def _Disk_H(field, data): center = data.get_field_parameter('center') z = data["z"] - center[2] return np.abs(z) yt.add_field("Disk_H", function=_Disk_H, units="pc", take_log=False, validators=[ValidateParameter('center')]) . . . disk_dd = dd.cut_region(["obj['Disk_H'].in_units('pc') < 1.0e3"]) proj = ds.proj('density', 2,data_source=disk_dd,weight_field='density’) Saludos!

Bin error in phase plot
by Sam Patrick 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Hi all, I'm trying to write a simple piece of code which produces a phase plot of the entire dataset. I'm currently using yt version 3.5.0 and Python version 3.7.1. Essentially what I have is: val, loc = ds.find_max('density') ad = ds.all_data() plot = yt.PhasePlot(ad, "density", "temperature", "cell_mass", weight_field=None) plot.set_unit('cell_mass', 'Msun') filename = "phase_plot_z={:.2f}.png".format(ds.current_redshift) plot.save(filename) However when I try running the code I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "phase_plot.py", line 14, in <module> plot = yt.PhasePlot(ad, "density", "temperature", "cell_mass", weight_field=None) File "/opt/apps/yt/jan19/lib/python3.7/site-packages/yt/visualization/profile_plotter.py", line 931, in __init__ fractional=fractional) File "/opt/apps/yt/jan19/lib/python3.7/site-packages/yt/data_objects/profiles.py", line 1207, in create_profile obj.add_fields([field for field in fields]) File "/opt/apps/yt/jan19/lib/python3.7/site-packages/yt/data_objects/profiles.py", line 129, in add_fields self._bin_chunk(chunk, fields, temp_storage) File "/opt/apps/yt/jan19/lib/python3.7/site-packages/yt/data_objects/profiles.py", line 627, in _bin_chunk bin_ind_y = np.digitize(bf_y, self.y_bins) - 1 ValueError: bins must be monotonically increasing or decreasing I'm not entirely sure what's happening since there's no part of the code which is interfacing with binning directly. Any light shed on this issue would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Sam Patrick
