SACdata

class pysac.io.legacy.SACdata(filename, filetype='auto')

Bases: pysac.io.legacy.VACdata

This adds specifications to VACdata designed for SAC simulations in 2D or 3D with magnetic field.

This adds the background and pertubation varibles into a new w_sac dict.

Methods Documentation

convert_B()

This function corrects for the scaling of the magentic field units.

It will convert the magnetic field into Tesla for the current time step.

WARNING: The conservative variable calculations are in SAC scaled magnetic field units, this conversion should be run after accessing any calculatuions involving the magnetic field

get_bgp()

get_bgtemp()

get_cs(p=None)

get_temp(p=None)

get_thermalp(beta=False)

Calculate Thermal pressure from varibles

get_va()

get_w_yt()

read_timestep(i)

update_w_sac()

This method creates the w_sac dictionary for the current timestep.
