[yt-users] new fields in output

[Elizabeth Tasker]

Hi,

This is a bit of a thread resurrection....

As Matt says below, yt correctly finds the fields in an Enzo simulation, even when there is an unexpected extra one such as PotentialField, but I do want to check the units. 

Since pf.field_info["PotentialField"].get_units() doesn't give me anything, is it safe to assume they are in code units? (i.e. [code velocity]^2)?

Thank you~

Elizabeth
