Hi Matt,<br><br>There is a mechanism within yt for the dark matter density to be recalculated for some (all?) Enzo simulations. Could this be extended to star particles as well? That way, the user could specify "recalculate this field even if it already exists. Just trust me, yt!" <br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Elizabeth, Britton and I worked on this off-list on IRC.<br>
<br>
What I have deduced is that the star particles in her simulation are<br>
not located at the finest resolution element. After discussing it<br>
with her, this seems to me to be likely related to how she generated<br>
the data, by restarting data written by an older version of Enzo with<br>
a recent version of Enzo, having it write the potential field, and<br>
then outputting again. What happens with data in a projection, or a<br>
slice for instance, is that higher-resolution grids are assumed to<br>
contain *better* data than the lower-resolution grids. So while<br>
actual plots of the *particles* looked fine (I verified this) the<br>
fluid quantities, particle_density etc etc, were being generated for<br>
coarse level grids and then overwritten by finer level grids.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, those finer level grids did not contain any particles.<br>
So their fluid values were zero, and were overwriting coarser level<br>
information which was non-zero. This is desired behavior; but I<br>
cannot think of any solution to this problem that will work in all<br>
cases. So, this will continue to go 'unfixed' for now, as well-formed<br>
outputs are assumed to have their particles located at the<br>
locally-finest level of resolution, and this dataset does not meet<br>
that criterion.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Matt<br>
