But, "z-velocity" is a defined derived field in the Athena frontend, and should give it in CGS units.On Oct 22, 2013, at 12:32 PM, Nathan Goldbaum <nathan12343@gmail.com> wrote:Yes, velocity_z is in code units as well because it's an athena field. You'll need to define a new x-velocity field (to match the naming scheme elsewhere in yt) that converts the athena velocity field to CGS.This is all being fixed with our new sympy powered units system and will be much easier in yt 3.0 or 3.1 (whichever version gets the new units support).-Nathan_______________________________________________On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 9:23 AM, John ZuHone <jzuhone@gmail.com> wrote:Hi Stephanie,First off, if I recall correctly we only support setting LengthUnits, DensityUnits, and TimeUnits. Everything else (such as mass, velocity, energy, etc.) should be derived from those.Secondly, the reason why you're seeing this for the grid "z" is that it always defaults to the code units (as well as "x" and "y", and the cell deltas). I don't think we have a built-in field for "z" in centimeters (or anything else other than code units), so I think you might have to define a field on your own for "z" in whatever units you want.Anyone else want to chime in?Best,JohnOn Oct 22, 2013, at 11:31 AM, Stephanie Tonnesen <stonnes@gmail.com> wrote:StephaneiCan I force it to use physical units?Hi John,Thanks for this. So I now have this in, and it is being applied to my SlicePlot and ProjectionPlot, but my pc.add_phase_object is still using code units. There is an excerpt below.
>pf = load("id0/rps."+outstring[i]+".vtk",parameters={"TimeUnits":9.78262,"LengthUnits":26.,"DensityUnits":9.999e-30,"VelocityUnits":2.6e3,"MassUnits":2.596e6})
>pc = PlotCollection(pf)
>tracerp25 = alld.cut_region(["grid['specific_scalar[0]'] > 0.25", "grid['z'] > 0.01"])
>pc.add_phase_object(tracerp25,["z","velocity_z","CellMass"],weight=None,x_log=False,y_log=False)

Stephanie,
You can set it up like this:
pf = load("virgo_weak_mag.0054.vtk",
parameters={"TimeUnits":3.1557e13,
"LengthUnits":3.0856e24,
"DensityUnits":6.770424595218825e-27})
Sorry, this is a little-documented feature.
Best,
John
