Hi G.S.,<br><br>This is pretty far outside of how fields are designed to work in yt. The access of data in yt isn't currently designed to work with more than one pf. I don't actually see a way to do this without combining the data so that it can be seen as a single pf. If parallel wasn't an issue and this were only a unigrid run, you might be able to read in all the data at once from both pfs and do some of this by hand. If this is AMR, then I think this may not be possible at all, considering the hierarchy is unlikely to be exactly the same between two different datasets.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I was wondering if it is possible to specify two different sources of<br>
input to create a derived field. Currently with a single source, I have a<br>
derived field defined as:<br>
<br>
def _HII_HFraction(field, data):<br>
return data["HII_Density"]/(data["HI_Density"]+data["HII_Density"])<br>
<br>
add_field("HII_HFraction", function=_HII_HFraction,<br>
units=r"\frac{\rho_{HII}}{\rho_H}")<br>
<br>
And I can access the total quantity in parallel<br>
<br>
pf=load(file)<br>
<br>
dd = pf.h.all_data()<br>
<br>
dd.quantities["TotalQuantity"]("HII_HFraction")[0]<br>
<br>
But I'm dealing with<br>
<br>
pf1=load(file1)<br>
pf2=load(file2)<br>
<br>
pf1 has the HI_Density field data and pf2 has the HII_Density field data.<br>
Is there a way to create a derived field and use TotalQuantity to operate<br>
on the data in parallel?<br>
<br>
From<br>
G.S.<br>
<br>
PS. I guess my alternative is to glue the two HDF5 files into one, but<br>
want to avoid it if possible.<br>
