perplex
A submodule containing functions that generate Terra-readable material property files using the software package PerpleX [Connolly, 2009].

make_build_files(project_name, molar_composition, pressure_bounds, temperature_bounds, endmember_file, solution_file, option_file, solutions, excludes)
This function makes a collection of PerpleX build files (which are the input files used by other PerpleX programs).
The benefit of this function over build is that it (a) specifically considers only input files for 2D Gibbs minimization, and (b) can split a P-T domain into an arbitrary number of chunks, defined by P and T dividing lines. This removes some problems with memory limits when trying to create phase diagrams over all P and T space.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
project_name |
string
|
A string used to define the project directory and build file names. |
required |
molar_composition |
dictionary
|
A dictionary containing the molar amounts of the components in the thermodynamic data files (often MGO, FEO etc...). Sometimes the datafiles have components in mixed case (MgO, FeO etc). |
required |
pressure_bounds |
list of floats
|
A list of pressures that partition the build files. Should be of at least length two (minimum and maximum pressure). |
required |
temperature_bounds |
list of floats
|
A list of temperatures that partition the build files. Should be of at least length two (minimum and maximum temperature). |
required |
endmember_file |
string
|
Path to the endmember thermodynamic data file (usually *ver.dat) |
required |
solution_file |
string
|
Path to the solution file (usually ?_solution_model.dat) |
required |
option_file |
string
|
Path to the PerpleX option file (usually perplex_option.dat). |
required |
solutions |
list of strings
|
List of solutions to be considered in the minimization |
required |
excludes |
list of strings
|
List of endmembers excluded in the minimization |
required |

perplex_to_grid(path_to_project, pressure_bounds, temperature_bounds, pressures, temperatures, path_to_perplex)
Runs PerpleX-werami on the files created by run_build_files. Returns a 3D numpy array where out[i,j,k] is property k at the ith pressure and jth temperature. The properties k are pressure, temperature (both duplicated as a formatting check), density, Vp and Vs.
Attempts are made to fill NaN elements (from vertex / werami failures) by running werami on individual points, taking a 3x3 block mean, and by linear extrapolation in the lowest pressure row.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
path_to_project |
string
|
A string used to define the project directory and build file names. |
required |
pressure_bounds |
list of floats
|
A list of pressures that partition the build files. Should be of at least length two (minimum and maximum pressure). |
required |
temperature_bounds |
list of floats
|
A list of temperatures that partition the build files. Should be of at least length two (minimum and maximum temperature). |
required |
pressures |
numpy array
|
Equally spaced pressures defining the property grid. Most easily created using numpy.linspace(). |
required |
temperatures |
numpy array
|
Equally spaced temperatures defining the property grid. Most easily created using numpy.linspace(). |
required |
path_to_perplex |
string
|
The path to the directory containing the PerpleX executables (vertex and pssect). |
required |
Returns:
Type | Description |
---|---|
3D numpy array
|
An array of thermodynamic properties. out[i,j,k] is property k at the ith pressure and jth temperature. The properties k are pressure, temperature (both duplicated as a formatting check), density, Vp and Vs. |
