Hi Matthew,

Thank you for your reply. I was using yt Version 3.2.3 and am working out some installation issues on our server with version 3.3.5. As for the type of data, I have an enzo simulation with static nested grids as well as up to 6 levels AMR grids. I will have to get back to you once I get past the issues with the newest installation of yt.... Thanks for the initial pointers.

Cheers,
Carla

Hi Carla,

Interesting.  It's possible, for the call to "temperature" (which
raises NotImplementedError) that the version of yt you're on doesn't
yet support mesh fields in arbitrary grids; that was added reasonably
recently.  For the others, I'm not totally sure why it's breaking --
which version of yt are you using, and what type of data?  It may just
be that they aren't deposit fields.  In that case, try explicitly
stating obj["gas","temperature"] or obj["gas","HI_Density"].  It may
also be that the aliasing is getting in the way, in which case instead
of "HI_Density" you might need to try "Hp0_density".
