pyPLUTO.ploadparticles

alias of pyPLUTO.ploadparticles

To load the Particle datafile.

Inputs:

ns – Step Number of the data file

w_dir – path to the directory which has the data files

datatype – Datatype (default is set to read .dbl data files)

ptype – A string denoting the type of particles (‘LP’, ‘CR’, ‘DUST’ etc. Default is ‘CR’)

chnum – 2 digit integer denoting chunk number

(Only used if ptype = ‘LP’ to read particles.nnnn_chxx.dbl file, where nnnn is 4 digit integer denotong ns and xx is a 2 digit integer for chunk number : Default value is 0)

Outputs:

pyPLUTO ploadparticles object whose keys are arrays of particle data values.

For Example:

To load the particles.0210.flt file one can use the following set of commands

import pyPLUTO.ploadparticles as pr

P = pr.ploadparticles(210,datatype=’flt’)

And to load a Lagrangian particle data file with name particles.0001_ch01.dbl one needs to use the following command line after initial import

P = pr.ploadparticles(1,ptype=’LP’,chnum=1)
