Attempting to copy or pickle Cantera objects with an underlying C++ object
previously led to unexpected errors. These operations will not raise excptions
indicating the unimplemented feature.
Resolves Issue 205.
Fixes issues with mismatched compilers between the Cython extension and the
cantera library, especially on OS X. Improves build dependency resolution to
eliminate unnecessary recompilation of _cantera.cpp.
When instantiating a phase from a .cti file, do the conversion in memory,
without writing the XML representation to disk. This eliminates the unrequrested
XML files that Cantera normally generates, and also avoids errors when running
Cantera from a directory where the user does not have write permissons.
This addesses a parsing error that would occur if a mechanism contained both
'foo' and 'foo+', where reactions written as 'foo+bar' would be parsed as a
reaction with 'foo+' and 'bar'.
See Issue 182.
Change the variable named *species* to be named *component*. This
better matches the utility of this variable, since it can be used to
retrieve any of the state variables. Also, update the corresponding
documentation.
The name 'H' can mean either the species by that name or the entahlpy
of the reactor, in the case of ConstPressureReactor, and the previous
behavior always returned the index of the enthalpy.
This changes the behavior to preferentially return the species, and
adds alternative names for reactor state variables that are less
likely to generate namespace collisions: 'mass', 'volume',
'int_energy', 'enthalpy', 'temperature', 'distance', 'velocity'. The
single character names are still supported.
Resolves Issue 193.
Adding the attribute allow_discontinuities="true" to a phase's
'thermo' node (CTML) or adding 'allow_discontinuous_thermo' to a
phase's 'options' argument (CTI) will disable the automatic adjustment
of the provided polynomials so that enthalpy and entropy are
continuous at the midpoint temperature.
This fixes the problem of some output (notably from the 1D solver)
going to std::cout when that is not the primary output location,
e.g. when using IDLE or the IPython QtConsole.
There are three problems with this function. It does not work, since
it calls ctmethods with the wrong number of arguments. Even if that
were fixed, it wouldn't do what it claims, as the method it calls
generates a CTI file, not an XML file. Finally, it is redundant, as
the 'ck2cti' function can be used for generating the CTI file, and the
CTI to XML conversion is handled automatically when importing the
phase.
Therefore, this function is being removed.
