ABLATE to Curve Files

This guide will explain how to convert the ABLATE output files to the curve format.

0. Run your ablate simulation with Hdf5MultiFileSerializer

   timestepper:
     io: !ablate::io::Hdf5MultiFileSerializer
       interval: 0

1. Clone the post-processing repo to your local machine.

   git clone https://github.com/UBCHREST/post-processing.git

2. Setup your python environment as needed.

• UB CCR:module load python/py38-anaconda-2021.05
• LLNL Quartz: module load python/3.10.8

The following paths are just examples. Update with paths on your system.

3. Run the following command to view script options:

    usage: cuveFile.py [-h] --file FILE
   
    Generate curve files from ablate files
   
    optional arguments:
      -h, --help   show this help message and exit
      --file FILE  The path to the ablate hdf5 file(s) containing the ablate data.
                   A wild card can be used to supply more than one file.

4. Export the path to the post processing repo

• UB CCR: export POST_PROCESSING=/projects/academic/chrest/mtmcgurn/post-processing/
• LLNL Quartz: export POST_PROCESSING=/usr/workspace/ubchrest/post-processing/

5. Generate the curve files from the ABLATE hdf5 files. You must specify the file(s) and fields.

    # From within the result directory like 6G-280x40-pmma-rad-12844839
   
    # the domain files
    python3 $POST_PROCESSING/chrest/ablateData.py --file "domain/domain*.hdf5" 
   
    # A new folder with curve in the name will be created in the directory containing the curve files.
