Name

modysnap - convert Mody’s bin pos-vel files to snapshot

Synopsis

modysnap [parameter=value]

Description

modysnap converts snapshot-style datasets from the n-mody MOND N-body integrator to a standard NEMO snapshot(5NEMO) .

Parameters

The following parameters are recognized in any order if the keyword is also given:
in=
Input mody pos-vel file (moutXX.bin style). Multiple files can be given. No default.
out=
Output snapshot file. No default.
headline=
Random verbiage []
swap=
Swap bytes in each int/float if endianism differs . This is only needed if the input files come from a machine with the opposite endianism as your local host. Not implemented yet.
header=t|f
Read the header? Needed for MODY style, but e.g. QuMOND only carries particle information, so nbody= is needed instead (see below) Default: true
nbody=
Set the number of particles to read. Only used when header=f for QuMOND style files. In principle by setting smaller value of nbody, you could use this to split the output snapshot in pieces.

Examples

Here is an example of running n-mody. First create in input file: 
  % cp $NEMO/usr/n_mody/example_init/newgalaxy.data .
  % rungb
   ...
  20.013u 7.036s 0:27.05 99.9%    0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
  % modysnap mout00.bin snap0
   ...    nbody=2048000 mods=1
   ...    totms=1.000000 tnow=0.000000 tdyn=8.332943 vir=0.000000
then get the parameters for the integration and run the standard benchmark % cp $NEMO/usr/n_mody/run/input.data .
% rmond
565.048u 6.426s 9:31.90 99.9%    0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

though notice this benchmark does not produce extra mout01.bin etc. files
(nout=0) 

To process multiple files, a Unix pipe should be used: 


  % cat mout??.bin | modysnap - mout.snap



Limitation

Currently only the moutXX.bin (pos-vel) files can be processed.
 However, it’s not hard to have a poutXX.bin type to be merged in and produce
a snapshot with potentials as well. 

There is no good alternative for the
mondXX.bin files in NEMO yet. 

Files

There are a number of files used by rmond:


moutXX.bin: a small 5 integer and 5 real header, followed by nbody float
"posvel" vectors. 

mondXX.bin: grid data 

poutXX.bin: particle potentials. Same


header
