I am now looking at a few more variables, and am not sure whether I should be getting code units or physical units. In the Athena vtk file, Pressure is one of the variables--will this be plotted in code units or will yt attempt to give me physical units since I am inputting some physical unit conversions in the load command? Also , is "BMagnitude" in code units? I am loading my data using the command:

pf = load("id0/rps."+outstring[i]+"

.vtk",parameters={"TimeUnits":9.78262,"LengthUnits":8.0236e22,"DensityUnits":9.999e-30})

Thanks!

Hi Again, Everyone!

So I would also like my figures to be in physical units, instead of in my code units. I *think* the Athena frontend doesn't read in what the unit conversions are (and I am not sure how it would do that). Can I just do something simple like:

DensityUnits = 3.
density_physunits = grid['density'] * DensityUnits

Then, of course, I don't know how I would do a SlicePlot, ProjectionPlot or phaseplot in physical units...

Any help/advice/direction is appreciated!

Thanks,
Stephanie
