YAML to Chemkin conversion

Convert Cantera YAML input files to Chemkin-format mechanisms

usage: yaml2ck [-h] [--phase-name PHASE] [--mechanism MECH] [--thermo THERM] [--transport TRAN]
               [--sort-elements {None,alphabetical,molar-mass}] [--sort-species {None,alphabetical,molar-mass}]
               [--overwrite | --no-overwrite] [--validate | --no-validate]
               input

Positional Arguments

input

The input YAML filename. Required.

Named Arguments

--phase-name

Name of the phase to load from the input. If unspecified, the first phase listed in the input file will be loaded.

Default: “”

--mechanism

The path to the output mechanism file. Optional. If not provided, the name of the input file will be used, with the extension replaced by ‘.ck’.If the path specified here is an existing directory, the output file(s) will be placed in that directory.

--thermo

The path to the output thermodynamics database file. Optional. If not provided, the thermodynamic data will be included in the mechanism file.

--transport

The path to the output transport database file. Optional. If not provided, transport data will be included in the mechanism file.

--sort-elements

Possible choices: None, alphabetical, molar-mass

Sort elements in source order (None), alphabetically, or from lowest to highest atomic mass.

--sort-species

Possible choices: None, alphabetical, molar-mass

Sort species in source order (None), alphabetically, or from lowest to highest molecular weight.

--overwrite, --no-overwrite

If set, overwrite existing output files.

Default: False

--validate, --no-validate

Check that the mechanism can be loaded back into Cantera.

Default: True
