Just starting to play around with cantera - looks pretty impressive so far. I have a quick question on the species input files. In the demo.cpp program I tried...
Sorry - not much to go on there eh? In the demo program I just IdealGasMix gas("h2o2.cti","ohmech"); with IdealGasMix gas("nasa.cti"); Guess it's not that...
Pete, There are a couple of problems. First of all, file nasa.cti only contains species data, so these definitions need to be imported into an "ideal_gas"...
Dave, Thanks for the help. I had some chemkin input files around and created the xml input using your utility and all works fine. Have Cantera sucked into my...
Once a cti file is called, is there a way to change one or more of the rate coefficients of one or more of the reactions (i.e. a Matlab command)? I am...
The only thing you can vary dynamically is the pre-exponential factor, by setting the value of the multiplier for a reaction. You can use the Matlab function...
Dear Prof. Goodwin I installed Cantera and tried to run the examples. There came the errors: Procedure: findInputFile Error: Input file gri30.xml not found in...
Hi, folks! I am a new user of Cantera. Just downloaded it and tried the demos, when I found an execution error. It seems that Matlab R13 (6.5) has a built-in...
Dave, When importing a certain surface mechanism .cti file that I wrote, the following error was returned to me. This was on a Matlab platform. Traceback...
Paul, You have found an inconsistency between what the documentation says and what the code actually does... Replace "stoichiometric_solid" with "pure_solid"...
This file should have been included in the distribution but wasn't. If you make a call to GRI30(), it should automatically create gri30.xml in the local...
Marcus, I haven't run into this problem before, and have been using that version of Matlab. Maybe it is an issue of setting the Matlab path? I'll look into...
Thanks Dave, Changing to "pure_solid" cleared that error. However another one came up which might be a documentation-code inconsistency also. The error is...
Dave, You've help me some ways in getting the surface_reaction mechanism features figures out. Looks like I got the bugs out of the .cti file, but now I am...
Hi Dave, About how much longer do you think it will be b4 you release the lastest version? Paul ... almost ... mechanism ... the 'buildwin' ... describing ... ...
I have just now posted the latest source code for Cantera at the sourceforge site (cantera-1.5.3-src.zip), along with a document describing how to build...
Dave, indeed it is possible to overload a Matlab built-in function. All I got to do was put the Cantera toolbox folder at the beginning of the Matlab path. I...
Hello all, I have just installed Cantera-1.5.1, but when I attempt to run it from the python interface I receive the following error: Python 2.3.2 (#1, Dec 3...
Hi, I'm having major probs. installing "cantera", on an SGI origin 200 (server class system) running SGI Irix 6.5.6 w/ gnu compilers, v. 3.3.2, gcc, g++, g77,...
Brian, It is failing during build of the Cantera Python package, but it does not seem to be a Cantera problem. It is complaining that some long double math...
I have added a Windows binary installer for the latest version of Cantera (1.5.3). It contains the Python interface, MATLAB toolbox, demos for both, and some...
Dear Goodwin, Would you like to tell me how to use the windows binary installer cantera153.msi? When I type the "configure" to run the configuration script in...
To run the *binary* installer, you don't need to have cygwin or run 'configure.' That is for building Cantera from the source code on Windows. All you need to...
When I double-clicked on the msi file to lanch it, I was informed that this installation packet can not be opened and I should confirm it a application...
'msi' files are used by the Windows Installer, which is the standard way to install software on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The capability to use these files...
