AeViz is a python package to explore data from core collapse supernova simulations made with Aenus-ALCAR (Obergaulinger, 2008; Just et al., 2015; Just et al., 2018). It contains analysis and visualization subroutines for 1, 2 and 3 dimensional simulations.
First make sure to have installed Python>=3.8.
To install the latest AeViz version please clone the repository with
git clone https://github.com/MarcoCusinato/AeViz.git
Then install the requirements needed to run all the functionalities of AeViz. You can either pip install or conda install them one by one taking them from this list
numpy
scipy
h5py
pandas
f90nml
matplotlib
opencv-python
or navigate into the package folder and install them from the requirements.txt file
cd AeViz
pip install -r requirements.txt
After having installed the requirements, we can finally install the main package. If you are not yet in the package folder, navigate into it (cd AeViz) and simply run
pip install .
After the installation it is time for the first import of the package, after launching Python, let's tipe
import AeViz
After, this firts import a folder called Aenus_simulation_postprocessing will be created in your home directory, alongside several subfolders. These subfolders include three labelled as *D with * being 1, 2, or 3 and containing the postprocessing of the simulations according to their dimension, and a hidden folder called .utils containing the path of the simulations.
During AeViz installation, two system-wide scripts have been installed, namely add_Aenus_sim_paths and run_postprocessing.
First of all, let's use the former to save some simulation's path as
add_Aenus_sim_paths --sim-name /path/to/parent/
This will scan the parent folder for simulations. Be careful that if you feed it the simulation path it will not recognize it.
After a simulation path has been saved you can access it by simply using the name of the simulation folder.
Then we can run the second script with the additional keyword --plot as
run_postprocessing --sim-name simulation_name --plot
where the simulation_name is the name of the simulation folder folder.
By doing this we will have created h5 postprocessing files as well postprocessing plots insede the folder folder with the corresponding simulation name inside the Aenus_simulation_postprocessing/DIMENSION directory.
