uns_addgravity - adds gravity to a snapshot; using falcON (public version)

synopsis

uns_addgravity [parameter=value]

description

uns_addgravity it’s based on addgravity program by Walter Dehnen (WD). It uses Walter Dehnen’s force algorithm of complexity O(N) (falcON), to add the gravitational potential and accelerations to an UNS snapshots.

parameters

in=file
Input snapshots are read from file, which must an UNS snapshot format (NEMO, Gadget1/2/3, Ramses, etc..). If file=-, input is expected from stdin, useful for piping data from another program. Default: required
out=file
Snapshots are written in NEMO snapshot format to file with same body data as the input plus acceleration and potential. Default: required.
select=select-particles
Select particles. Set of particles must be selected using the ":" range operator, separated by a comma. E.g. select=0:9,10:19 would select two sets of 10 particles, or by component (gas,halo,stars,bulge,disk,bndry) for Gadget/Ramses files. E.g. select=gas,stars . Default: required.
times=time range(s)
Range(s) of simulation times, for which snapshots shall be processed. Default: all.
eps=val
The (globally constant) softening length is set to val. For details, see documentation in the user guide. Default: 0.05.
kernel=num
The softening kernel is taken to be the Pnum kernel (see the documentation in the user guide). Default: 1.
theta=val
The tolerance parameter for falcON is set to val. It is recommended to stick to the default or smaller value, but see the discussion in the falcON user guide Default: 0.6.
ncrit=num
In building the tree, a cell containg num bodies or less is not splitted. Default: 6.
first=boolean
if true, add a trailing number to the first output file [f]
offset=time offset
+/- time offset between two consecutives snapshots [0.01]
verbose=flag
If true, give some verbose output [t].
