CADET-Python is a file based Python interface for CADET. For this, CADET must be installed separately (see https://github.com/modsim/CADET). | ||
# CADET-Python | ||
|
||
CADET-Python almost exactly maps to the documented CADET interface except that all dataset names are lowercase. This simplifies using the interface. | ||
**CADET-Python** provides a file-based Python interface for **CADET-Core**, which must be installed separately. For this, please refer to the [installation instructions](https://cadet.github.io/master/getting_started/installation.html) and the [CADET-Core repository]((https://github.com/cadet/CADET-Core)). | ||
|
||
To install CADET-Python simply | ||
The CADET-Python package simplifies access by mapping to the [CADET interface](https://cadet.github.io/master/interface/index.html#), **with all dataset names in lowercase**. | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
|
||
To install CADET-Python, use: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
pip install cadet-python | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
This package includes the `CADET` class and `H5` class. `H5` can be used as a simple generic HDF5 interface. | ||
## Usage Example | ||
|
||
The package includes two primary classes: | ||
|
||
- **`CADET`**: The main class to configure and run simulations. | ||
- **`H5`**: A general-purpose HDF5 interface. | ||
|
||
### Setting Up a Simulation | ||
|
||
To set a simulation parameter, such as the column porosity for column 1. | ||
|
||
As an example look at setting column porosity for column 1. From the CADET manual, the path for this is: | ||
Referring to this path in the CADET interface: | ||
``` | ||
/input/model/unit_001/COL_POROSITY | ||
``` | ||
In the Python interface this becomes: | ||
In CADET-Python, this is now set as: | ||
``` | ||
from cadet import Cadet | ||
# Initialize simulation | ||
sim = Cadet() | ||
# Set column porosity for unit 001 | ||
sim.root.input.model.unit_001.col_porosity = 0.33 | ||
``` | ||
Once the simulation has been created it must be saved before it can be run. | ||
### Saving the Simulation File | ||
|
||
Before running, save the simulation configuration to a file: | ||
``` | ||
sim.filename = "/path/to/where/you/want/the/file.hdf5" | ||
sim.filename = "/path/to/your/file.hdf5" | ||
sim.save() | ||
``` | ||
Next the path to CADET needs to be set before a simulation can be run. If running on Microsoft Windows you need the path to cadet-cli.exe | ||
### Setting the Path to CADET | ||
|
||
To execute the simulation, specify the path to **CADET-Core**. On Windows, set the path to `cadet-cli.exe`: | ||
``` | ||
sim.cadet_path = '/path/to/cadet-cli' | ||
``` | ||
### Running the Simulation and Loading Data | ||
|
||
run the simulation and load the data | ||
Run the simulation and load the output data with: | ||
``` | ||
print(sim.run()) | ||
sim.load() | ||
``` | ||
### Reading Data from a Pre-Simulated File | ||
|
||
At this point any data can be read. | ||
|
||
If you have a file you want to read that has already been simulated this is also easy to do. | ||
If you have a pre-simulated file, you can read it directly: | ||
``` | ||
# Initialize a new simulation object | ||
sim = Cadet() | ||
sim.filename = "/path/to/where/you/want/the/file.hdf5" | ||
# Set the filename for the existing simulation data | ||
sim.filename = "/path/to/your/file.hdf5" | ||
sim.load() | ||
``` | ||
At this point, any data in the file can be accessed. |
