yt OverviewΒΆ
yt is a community-developed analysis and visualization toolkit for astrophysical simulation data. yt runs both interactively and non-interactively, and has been designed to support as many operations as possible in parallel.
yt provides full support for several simulation codes in the current release:
We also provide limited support for Castro, NMSU-ART, and Maestro. A limited amount of RAMSES IO is provided, but full support for RAMSES will not be completed until the 3.0 release of yt.
If you use yt in a paper, you are highly encouraged to submit the repository containing the scripts you used to analyze and visualize your data to the yt Hub, and we ask that you consider citing our method paper, as well. If you are looking to use yt, then check out the yt Hub for ideas of how other people used yt to generate worthwhile analysis. We encourage you to explore the source code and even consider contributing your enhancements and scripts.
