Hello, I´m a new user of Cantera and MixMaster. I do have a question concerning MixMaster. I plot the reaction paths for the ozone mechanism and let me show...
Hello All, I had 1.5.4 installed (windows 2000) and it was working fine. When I upgraded to 1.5.5 and python2.4, matplotlib quit working. I am getting "Numeric...
Thank you for your reply, but what about older Cantera version, like 1.5.4 or 1.5.3. They are still available, and I try to use them, because I have Visual C++...
The meaning is that the scale value multiplied by the number by the arrow is the rate at which the chosen element (e.g. O) is "flowing" from one species to...
Due to finite resources and time, I can't support (or even remember...) the procedure to build Cantera with Visual C++ 6.0. If someone else is using Visual...
The binary version of Cantera for Windows now uses numarray instead of Numeric. Matplotlib can use either one, but the option needs to be specified at compile...

Hi everyone - I am trying to track two gases (of type Solution) in a Matlab file. When I modify one of the gases, the other changes as well. I'm not sure if...
Josh, The problem is gas1 = gas2. The Cantera MATLAB interface doesn't support object creation by assignment. The MATLAB object only contains a pointer...
Josh, I'm not totally familiar with Matlab assignment protocol, but it looks like, rather than passing a copy of the gas1 object to the definition of gas2,...
Hello guys, does anybody know if it is possible to calculate the laminar flame velocity under constant volume conditions? I just know that it is possible under...
A change in how the pressure is handled in computing chemical potentials (transparent to most users), a new class for multiphase mixtures, and a robust...
Can someone please help? I've installed Cantera 155 and python 2.4 and everything works just fine until I try to use input files. I've tried uninstalling and ...
Hi all, I have installed the most recent version of Cantera 1.5.5 for Windows XP and am learning and enjoying MixMaster. I get an error however when I try to...
Carl - This is due to your version of 'dot' (part of graphviz) not supporting 'gif' files. As it turns out, I just upgraded to the latest version of graphviz...
There is some problem with either the input file or the thermo file. Could be some non-printing characters in the file, or maybe it has unix line endings are...
Sure enough, in a recent version of a graphics library that graphviz uses to generate bitmap images, support for the GIF format was removed. It has now been...
I am most definitely not computer savvy! When I went to the command prompt (with the help of a friend) this is what happened: C:\Cantera\bin>ck2cti.exe -d...

I am wondering what went wrong when I tried to use ck2cti to convert n-Heptane, reduced mechanism from: http://www-cms.llnl.gov/combustion/combustion2.html. ...
This is almost certainly due to using a transport database file that was created on another platform. If your transport database is an MS-DOS text file and you...
Hi everyone, I am currently running Cantera-1.5.4.win32 to simulate compression and expansion stroke of an HCCI engine. I use a combined Marinov and GRI...

Bill, Try this: mec = importPhase('mech.cti') You don't need to convert the cti file to xml; Cantera handles that automatically. Dave...
Dave, Thanks! Cantera found a problem with a discontinuity in a species thermo which is very useful since as you have pointed out this can cause a problem with...
