Version 1.2.13

Oct. 2, 2019

  • Fixed bug where small non-zero rotational inertia modes were chosen preferentially over larger contributing modes.

  • Fixed bug where presets had to be specified before statistical mechanical arguments. Now, the preset will not overwrite any previously set values.

  • Updated read_thermdat() to allow the user to return the Nasa objects as a list, tuple, or dictionary.

  • Updated write_thermdat() to accept a list or a dictionary of Nasa objects

  • Implemented from_model method in Nasa and Shomate classes so empirical objects can be created from StatMech objects as well as other empirical objects. The from_statmech method is deprecated.

  • Added more descriptive warnings and errors.

  • Created GasPressureAdj so entropy and Gibbs energy of gas-phase empirical objects (like Shomate and Nasa) are dependent on pressure. This object is assigned automatically to misc_models if phase is ‘g’ or ‘gas’ and the add_gas_P_adj can be set to False if users do not wish to assign this object automatically.

  • Thermodynamic quantities of individual species can also be calculated on a per mass basis (i.e. users can calculate quantities in J/g, cal/kg, etc.). The object must contain a dictionary of its composition in elements for this functionality.

  • Fixed broken hyperlinks.

  • Implemented Nasa9 and SingleNasa9 polynomials

  • Added preliminary CTI file writer for Cantera and OpenMKM
