Ulf, Yes, you are right. It works fine from Matlab and Python, but not C++. This was an oversight when I made changes to C++ class IdealGasMix. For now, a...
Dear Prof. Goodwin, first of all, thanks for the Cantera-1.4 release - it is much more structured than the old ones. I´m using Cantera mostly for research ...
Dear Professor Goodwin, I am a PhD student and I would like to study the multiphase thermodynamic equilibrium of a Si-H-C system. I have already studied the...
Ulf, Yes, it is now necessary to define a wall to do non-adiabatic reactor simulations. Sensitivity analysis is not yet implemented, but would be a welcome ...
Alessandro, Multiphase equilibrium is not currently implemented. But you can do it yourself. For example, suppose you want to allow solid silicon, You need to...
Professor Goodwin, Could you suggest a way to get a mixture's autoignition temperature through Cantera? I've tried a few techniques, but I am a little ...
I found some errors in the definitions of mass-based properties in demo_ftnlib.cpp. They seem to have been copied and pasted from the mole-based property...
Dear Mr. Goodwin, I used the Thermo Chemical Calculator on the caltech web site (http://blue.caltech.edu/tcc/)in May for some equilibrium calculation for my...
Sebastien, The TCC calculator is currently down because the power supply for 'blue' needs to be replaced. It will hopefully be fixed next week. But if you have...
Hi Dave I have used chemkin for several years, but are slowly trying to change my platform to cantera, and am indeed impressed with the work you have done. I...
Cantera has a new input file format, designed for specifying both single-phase and multi-phase problems. At least, it WILL have the new format as soon as...
So, supposing I want to create two gas mixtures in Matlab, with initially identical properties. The naive way to do this is as ... 300 ... 600 ... 600 What's...
Brooks - As you've discovered, a copy operation in Matlab of a Cantera object is a 'shallow' copy operation, because the Matlab object really just holds a...
Dave - Thanks for the confirmation. And, yes, in the simple example I gave, constructing the two gasses independently is certainly just as simple as copying...
Brooks - I would recommend that you consider changing your code to avoid making multiple copies of class Solution objects. The reason is that these are ...
Dave - Thanks for the suggestion; that does seem a reasonable way of doing things, and should work for what we need. (Also, it occurs to me that it might be...
Cantera 1.5.0 is now available at the SourceForge site. What's new: -- surface chemistry - reversible or irreversible reactions - coverage-dependent rates;...
Hello,Dave & group -- The demos seem broken -- eg, [root@compute python]# python2 < flame1.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 12, in ? ...

Cantera 1.5 for Windows has been released. This is a major release with many new capabilities; if you are using Cantera on a Windows PC, I encourage you to...
Dear Dave After upgrading both my Windows and Linux distribution of Cantera, I get an three error messages, when I try to run MixMaster. The errors are: could...
The problem is not in your installation, but that I forgot to change the file type in MixMaster to the new Cantera input file type. Here's the fix: run a...
Dear Dave, Where to download cantera 1.5 for Windows? At the SourceForge site, I can only see v1.5 for unix dated on Aug 25. Thanks, Yi J. ... PC, I ... tested...
Dave, I cannot find the file "readme.txt" in the Matlab folder to tell me installation instructions for matlab. Please advise on Matlab setup. Thanks, Dan...
