Hello guys, first of all I would like to thank Professor Goodwin for his great idea developing and constantly improving cantera. I am looking forward for the...
Windows 2000 should be fine. The problem you are finding with MATLAB might be that you need to set the MATLAB path. See 'cantera-install.ppt' for information...
I followed the directions when setting the paths in Matlab. Could the problem be that I have Matlab 6.5 instead of 7.0? The directions I followed said that...
Jeff, I currently run cantera 1.55 through Matlab 6.1, and it works great. Look back at your path settings--to get the demos to run, I had to include the...
Dear Dave, is it possible to use the solver for spatial onedim-problems to solve continously stirred reactors with time as the dimension instead of space ?...
Ulf, Something like that could probably be done. The reason it is slow is that the algorithm uses a full, nomerically-computed Jacobian. This means that all...
To anyone interested in this subject: This exchange of messages addresses the speed of convergence of the cstr, but a closely related subject is the fact that...

A suggestion for the next release: It may be better to not throw an error on a temperature-specified equilibrium solve if the temperature exceeds the...
I have installed python/cantera. When I try to run one of the python demos I get the error message: This application has failed to start because MSVCP71.dll...
The DLL MSVCP71.dll is a run-time library that applications compiled with Visual C++ .NET need to run. If you have Visual C++ .NET on your system, then you...
It seems like it should do something to at least warn you though... There are some cases where very wrong answers result. For example, in multiphase problems,...
Hello all, I am trying to incorporate three-phase-boundary reactions into a numerical simulation of a solid oxide fuel cell. I am using cantera primarily for...
Dear Dave, My name is Jeff Miller, and I am a student at the Colorado School of Mines. I am using the equilibrium Matlab demo to determine the temperature of...
Dear Dave, Sorry to keep bothering you with these simple questions. I can not figure out how to use data from nasa.cti without pasting the data I want into a...
Jeff, File nasa.cti specifies many species, but does not specify any phase that uses these species. If you want to create an ideal gas mixture using these...
Thank you very much. That will help for now, but in the near future, we would like to run the equilibrium calculation on this same mixture, but with a...
Steven, Three-phase boundary reactions! You are now deep into uncharted Cantera territory... Of course, Cantera can do this, and I use it for this in SOFC...
I am trying to implement a methanol/Cu-ZnO surface reaction model where there are four different types of surface sites. In the model methanol undergoes a...
Dave, Why define them as separate surface phases? Can't you have sites Cu(S1), CH3O(S1), CU(S1a), H(S1a), etc. all as part of one surface phase? If your...
Hi everyone, does anyone have any news on compiling cantera on 64-bit machines? I'm trying to do that on a 64-bit Alpha one (Red Hat Linux 7.0). First of all I...
Thanks. What you suggest should work. It even gives me insight into how I might model surfaces that change their structure in time. All the best. Dave...
Hi, I'm interested in modeling a 1 dimensional unstrained diffusion flame. The code I would like to set up is very similar to the Flame1 demo. I would like...
Professor Goodwin, I was going through cantera v1.5.5r4 and c++ examples, and found that in kinematics examples 1 & 2, a relatively large volume is used to ...
Steve, You can use an 'OutletRes1D' object instead of 'Outlet1D'. (At least, you can do this if you are working in C++.) This type of outlet simulates a...
Kazuo, The 1D flame models solve low-Mach-number equations that assume constant pressure. For the zero-D reactor objects, the situation is very different. ...
I am running ck2cti from the dos prompt. The ck2cti.log file says that the conversions of the mechanism and the thermo data were successful, but I can't find...
Hello... I am trying to change the scheme of a H2/O2/Ar/N2, but I always get this error: Procedure: ct2ctml Error: could not convert input file to CTML ...
Mark, I had the exact same problem. If you haven't already solve yours, try this: Delete the PYTHON_CMD variable you created, and only add c:\Python24 to your...
