snapgadget [parameter=value]

Description

snapgadget converts data from standard snapshot(5NEMO) format into gadget(lNEMO) .

Although gadget(lNEMO) has several flavors of particles (halo, disk, bulge, stars, gas), this version can only handle a limited set due to current limitations in the way snapshot’s are handled.

Some programs (e.g. AHF) that need proper cosmological information in a gadget header, will need these explicitly passed via a set of parameters (see below).

Parameters

The following parameters are recognized in order; they may be given in any order if the keyword is also given. Use --help to confirm this man page is up to date.
in=
Input file (snapshot format). No default.
out=
Output file (gadget format). Each snapshot is placed in its own file, and "%t" is replaced with the time of the snapshot (useful for times=all). No default.
N=Nhalo,Ndisk,Nbulge,Nstars
Nhalo,Ndisk,Nbulge,Nstars needs to be specified for the sub-components as GADGET wants them. Note the current version does not handle gas particles. No default.
M=Mhalo,Mdisk,Mbulge,Mstars
The masses (per particle) of each of the components listed in the N= keyword. You only need this if no masses are present. Note in this mode it is not possible to have different masses per component. Default: not used.
times=
Times of the snapshots to select for output. Default: all
swap=
Force swaping bytes for other-endian machines [f] z= Current Redshift [0]
z=
Current redshift [0]
box=
Box size (Mpc/h) [128]
omega0=
Omega_0 [0.3]
lambda0=
OmegaLambda0 [0.7]
h=
HubbleParam [0.75]

Caveat

There is an option to run gadget in double precision mode, their output files may not be compatible with this version of the program.
