Re: [yt-users] Creating a sphere based on enclosed mass
Hi Daniel,
I don't know of any automatic way of doing this that already exists within yt. I think an iterative method where you start with a tiny sphere and increment the radius until you get the desired mass will be your best bet.

Hi everyone,
Is there a straightforward way of creating a spherical data object by specifying the total enclosed mass, rather than the radius?
If not, I supposed I could write an iterative algorithm that would do it, but I'd rather avoid that if there's an easier way provided by yt.
Thanks for your help.
