Version history

• 1.0 initial commit

Package dependencies

• Python 2.7
• Matplotlib
• SciPy
• Numpy

Getting Started

Clone the repository to your local directory. GTEDGE2 comes in two code versions that should be maintained simultaneously: GTEDGE3 and GTEDGE3_cli.

The following input files are needed to run GTEDGE2:

Inputs\GT3Consts_shotid_timeid.csv				Plasma constant values from DIII-D
Inputs\GT3NBI_shotid_timeid.csv					Neutral beam data for NBeams from DIII-D
Inputs\GT3Profs_shotid_timeid.csv				Plasma profiles from DIII-D
Inputs\GTEDGEsupp_shotid_timeid.csv				Supplementary data from GTEDGE Fortran 77 version. Soon to be deprecated.
MaxPlasma\shotid_timeid_toplasma				Background plasma data needed for Max Hill code
MaxPlasma\inputs\shotid_timeid_runid_X.txt			Boundary and plasma data needed for Max Hill code from DIII-D
MaxPlasma\inputs\pshotid_timeid_runid_ersplrhob_sc.txt		Radial electric field file from DIII-D

Usage

GTEDGE3.py

GTEDGE3.py can be run from the command line with

python GTEDGE3.py

To use this functionality, ensure that the correct shot information is set in the file. The following is an example for DIII-D shot 118890, timeid 1560, runid r90, with NBeams activated and IOL correction applied

shotid=118890
timeid=1560
runid="r90"
nbRun=True	
IOL=True

GTEDGE3_cli.py

GTEDGE3 command line version can be run from the command line:

usage: GTEDGE3_cli.py [-h] [-nbRun [NBRUN]] [-IOL [IOL]] shotid timeid runid

positional arguments:
  shotid          DIII-D shot id
  timeid          DIII-D time id
  runid           DIII-D run id

optional arguments:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  -nbRun [NBRUN]  Run NBeams (default: True)
  -IOL [IOL]      Correct for IOL (default: True)
