YAML to Chemkin conversion#
Convert Cantera YAML input files to Chemkin-format mechanisms
usage: yaml2ck [-h] [--phase-name PHASE] [--mechanism MECH] [--thermo THERM]
               [--transport TRAN]
               [--sort-elements {None,alphabetical,molar-mass}]
               [--sort-species {None,alphabetical,molar-mass}]
               [--overwrite | --no-overwrite] [--validate | --no-validate]
               input
Positional Arguments#
- input
 The input YAML filename. Required.
Named Arguments#
- --phase-name
 Name of the phase to load from the input. If unspecified, the first phase listed in the input file will be loaded.
Default:
''- --mechanism
 The path to the output mechanism file. Optional. If not provided, the name of the input file will be used, with the extension replaced by ‘.ck’.If the path specified here is an existing directory, the output file(s) will be placed in that directory.
- --thermo
 The path to the output thermodynamics database file. Optional. If not provided, the thermodynamic data will be included in the mechanism file.
- --transport
 The path to the output transport database file. Optional. If not provided, transport data will be included in the mechanism file.
- --sort-elements
 Possible choices: None, alphabetical, molar-mass
Sort elements in source order (None), alphabetically, or from lowest to highest atomic mass.
- --sort-species
 Possible choices: None, alphabetical, molar-mass
Sort species in source order (None), alphabetically, or from lowest to highest molecular weight.
- --overwrite, --no-overwrite
 If set, overwrite existing output files.
Default:
False- --validate, --no-validate
 Check that the mechanism can be loaded back into Cantera.
Default:
True
