SWMF-POST

Tools to post-process output simulations from the SWMF framework (see here and here).

Overview

When dealing with the output data from SWMF simulations, we often need to deal with IDL binary/ASCII formats, which leads us to use IDL (i.e. propietary software).

This is an open-source/free-software alternative to post-process those binary files, using solely Python libraries.

This repository deals with:

  • conversion of the IDL binaries/ASCII formats from SWMF to HDF5 format, stored in an array structure that is friendly with Matplotlib routines.
  • 2D/3D plotting routines, making cuts in spherical coordinates. The previous step of getting the HDF5 versions of tha data saves a lot of time when running the plotting scripts.

For description of the tools see the sources README.
