yaml2ck [OPTIONS] INPUT

yaml2ck converts a Cantera YAML input file to Chemkin-format reaction mechanism.

The parameters are as follows:

INPUT

Cantera YAML input file to be converted. This file contains the declarations of the elements and species, thermodynamic data, as well as the reactions and transport data (if any).

--phase-name=PHASE

Name of the phase to load from the input. If unspecified, the first phase listed in the input file will be loaded.

--mechanism=MECH

The path to the output mechanism file. Optional. If not provided, the name of the input file will be used, with the extension replaced by '.ck'. If the path specified here is an existing directory, the output file(s) will be placed in that directory.

--thermo=THERM

The path to the output thermodynamics database file. Optional. If not provided, the thermodynamic data will be included in the mechanism file.

--transport=TRAN

The path to the output transport database file. Optional. If not provided, transport data will be included in the mechanism file.

--sort-elements=OPTION

Sort elements in source order (None, default), alphabetically (alphabetical), or from lowest to highest atomic mass (molar-mass).

--sort-species=OPTION

Sort species in source order (None, default), alphabetically (alphabetical), or from lowest to highest atomic mass (molar-mass).

--overwrite, --no-overwrite

If set, overwrite existing output files. (default: False)

--validate, --no-validate

Check that the mechanism can be loaded back into Cantera. (default: True)

-h | --help

Show the help message and exit.
