[yt-users] getting the average density inside a data container

[k.grisdale at surrey.ac.uk]

Hi yt Users

I am trying to create a data container that is a cube from which I can extract the average density of the gas inside the cube. I am using Ramses data.

When I create a data container using:

p6 = load("output_00006/info_00006.txt", fields = ["Density","x-velocity", "y-velocity", "z-velocity", "Pressure"])
cen = [0, 0, 0]
box = p6.h.region(cen, 0.2/p6['cm'], 0.3/p6['cm’])
print box["Density”]

I get this error:

TypeError: 'float' object has no attribute ‘__getitem__'

I have tried creating a sphere as a data container and this works for the Density, but then when I try to take the AverageDensity in the sphere:

sphere = p6.h.sphere(cen, 0.7/p6['cm’])
print sphere['AveragedDensity’]

 I get this error:

enerationInProgress                      Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-28-574d78c4fb5c> in <module>()
----> 1 print sphere['AveragedDensity']

/Applications/Code/yt/yt-x86_64/src/yt-hg/yt/data_objects/data_containers.pyc in __getitem__(self, key)
    187                 return self.field_data[f]
    188             else:
--> 189                 self.get_data(f)
    190         # Note that this is less succinct so that we can account for the case
    191         # when there are, for example, no elements in the object.

/Applications/Code/yt/yt-x86_64/src/yt-hg/yt/data_objects/data_containers.pyc in get_data(self, fields)
    514             return
    515         elif self._locked == True:
--> 516             raise GenerationInProgress(fields)
    517         # At this point, we want to figure out *all* our dependencies.
    518         fields_to_get = self._identify_dependencies(fields_to_get)

Any idea what I am doing wrong or if there is another way to go about this?

Thanks
