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
