CADET-Python 0.11

CADET is a python interface to the CADET chromatography simulator

CADET-Python is a file based Python interface for CADET. CADET must be downloaded from:

https://github.com/modsim/CADET

CADET-Python almost exactly maps to the documented CADET interface except that all dataset names are lowercase. This simplifies useing the interface.

This package includes the CADET class and H5 class. H5 can be used as a simple generic HDF5 interface.

As an example look at setting column porosity for column 1. From the CADET manual, the path for this is:

/input/model/unit_001/COL_POROSITY

In the Python interface this becomes:

sim = Cadet() sim.root.input.model.unit_001.col_porosity = 0.33

Once the simulation has been created it must be saved before it can be run.

sim.filename = "/path/to/where/you/want/the/file.hdf5" sim.save()

#next the path to CADET needs to be set before a simulation can be run. If running on Microsoft Windows you need the path to cadet-cli.exe

sim.cadet_path = '/path/to/cadet-cli'

#next run the simulation

print(sim.run())

#load the data sim.load()

At this point any data can be read.

If you have a file you want to read that has already been simulated this is also easy to do.

sim = Cadet() sim.filename = "/path/to/where/you/want/the/file.hdf5" sim.load()
