LUME-Impact

Tools for using Impact-T and Impact-Z in LUME.

Basic usage:

from impact import Impact

# Prepare Impact object. This will call I.configure() automatically.
I = Impact('/path/to/ImpactT.in', verbose=True)

# Change some things
I.header['Np'] = 10000
I.header['Nx'] = 32
I.header['Ny'] = 32
I.header['Nz'] = 32

# Run
I.run()
...


# Plot the results
I.plot()

Summary LUME-Impact plot

# Archive all output
I.archive('test.h5')

# Plot particle phase space projection
I.particles['final_particles'].plot('z', 'pz')

Installing lume-impact

Installing lume-impact from the conda-forge channel can be achieved by adding conda-forge to your channels with:

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict

Once the conda-forge channel has been enabled, lume-impact can be installed with:

conda search lume-impact --channel conda-forge

Impact-T Executables

Impact-T is available through conda-forge and can be installed via:

conda create -n impact
source activate impact # or conda activate impact
# For non-MPI
conda install -c conda-forge impact-t

# For OpenMPI
conda install -c conda-forge impact-t=*=mpi_openmpi*

# For MPICH
conda install -c conda-forge impact-t=*=mpi_mpich*

After these steps, the IMPACT-T executable ImpactTexe or ImpactTexe-mpi, respectively, will be in your PATH environment variable and is thus ready to use like any regular command-line command.
