Changes¶

Planned for v0.31

v0.30

Python3 compatibility
Integration of Kees’ Mie-scattering code (radmc3dPy.miescat, meth:radmc3dPy.dustopac.radmc3dDustOpac.computeDustOpacMie) for dust opacity calculation
New package (sphtool) for re-gridding 3D Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations to regular or AMR grids, including some basic visualisation of the SPH simulations
Possibility for modular module setup (i.e. generation of grids, variables, radiation sources, etc independently of each other) using the new class radmc3dModel.
Functions to plot dust opacities (radmc3dPy.analyze.plotDustOpac()), and scattering matrix elements (radmc3dPy.analyze.plotScatmat())
New function (radmc3dPy.dustopac.radmc3dDustOpac.writeOpac()) to write dust opacities to file
Internal structural changes (splitting the analyze module to smaller modules, for easier maintenance, but all previous functionality of the analyze module is kept intact)
Numpy’s fromfile() function is now used for reading dust opacities in radmc3dPy.dustopac.radmc3dDustOpac, which makes the file reading less sensitive to the presence of empty lines in the file dust opacity files

v0.29

Octree AMR support (read and write grid and data fields, generate models with an octree grid, see Octree tutorial)
Plot 2D contour maps of data fields along axis aligned slices showing also the cell boundaries for AMR models (radmc3dPy.analyze.plotSlice2D())
Plot the polarisation direction for full stokes images (radmc3dPy.image.plotImage() thanks Kees!)
Read molecular data files (radmc3dPy.analyze.readMol() thanks Kees!)
Plot spectrum (radmc3dPy.analyze.plotSpectrum() thanks Kees!)
Functions to calculate dust and gas mass in a model (radmc3dPy.data.radmc3dData.getDustMass(), radmc3dPy.data.radmc3dData.getGasMass())
Updated tutorials for models using an octree AMR grid
