Re: [yt-users] Obtaining the current Enzo timestep from yt

Hi Roberto, InitialTime is the current timestep in the simulation. It refers to the start time of the current timestep (as opposed to an intermediate time during the adaptive timestepping in Enzo). Initialdt is not written out to the output parameter files because it is only used for the very first step in the simulation. A shortcut that currently exists is pf.current_time, which is the same as pf.parameters['InitialTime']. I hope that helps, Sam On Mon, Dec 2, 2013 at 3:36 PM, trobolo dinni < trobolo.trobolo.dinni5@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Matt,

yes, I don't know why it is not there.

I tried with the pf.parameters function:

*In [456]: pf.parameters['Initialdt']*

*---------------------------------------------------------------------------* *KeyError Traceback (most recent call last)*

*/home/cthulhu/Repository/Python/yt scripts/5.primary_damping_analysis.py http://5.primary_damping_analysis.py in <module>()* *----> 1 * * 2 * * 3 * * 4 * * 5 *

*KeyError: 'Initialdt'*

*In [458]: pf.parameters['InitialTime']* *Out[458]: 0.52818454582493*

but since Initialdt is not there it is not able to find it.

Can I ask if is there a way to tell Enzo to write out the Initialdt or should be there by default?

Thanks, Roberto

Dear YT users,

I would like to ask a simple question to which I was not able to find a solution.

My Enzo parameters file does not have any Initialdt line saved, also if by reading the Enzo documentation at http://enzo.readthedocs.org/en/latest/parameters/initialization.htmllooks like the line should be there; and I would like to obtain the current timestep from the output using yt.

I would like to ask if is there a way to do that or if there is some alternative solution.

Thanks for the help, Roberto

Weird that it's not there! yt can get the cycle number if it's not. You can see this and other parameters by looking at pf.parameters . You can try using the "pprint" module to make it looks nice:

import pprint pprint.pprint(pf.parameters)
