Dumsani, yt handles fluid fields just fine, and is used for many AMR hydro
codes. There is not a frontend in yt for Cactus as best as I can see, so
one would need to be written. There are some docs up online:
http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/developing/creating_frontend.html
and some of the frontends use HDF5, so you should be able to copy from one
of those.

I have just learned about yt for large data visualization and analysis.
It looks like such a wonderful package for getting things done in a
quicker and very high quality kind of manner.
Hence, I wish to employ the package to work with data from an
outputting code called Carpet(http://www.carpetcode.org) built on
top of another code called Cactus (for computational astrophysics
simulations, e.g. merging black holes or neutron stars). Carpet
also performs some adaptive mesh refinement in Cactus, as well
as parallelization tasks (along with handling the I/O tasks). All these
(cactus and Carpet) are part of a community-based code known
as the Einstein Toolkit.
Usually, one would be interested in creating some array of
color-map snap-shots of 2D (2 spatial dimensions, plus the
actual physical quantity) quantities from the resulting
simulation data. Sometimes, such snap-shots could be
meant to compare a certain quantity from various simulations.
My general impression so far, however, is that the package
seems be oriented towards systems that involve 'particles',
like galaxies or similar bodies. Would it support the kind of
data I'm working with (the 2D/3D scalars on refined grids,
vectors, etc)? Or, would I need to try and extend yt to
read/load my kind of data? Two output formats are possible
from my simulations: HDF5 (CarpetIOHDF5, an adaptation of
standard HDF5), and ASCII formats. I would prefer advice on
the use of HDF5 though.
Your advice will be highly appreciated.
Kind regards
Dumsani _______________________________________________
