Loading your data#
The function open_boutdataset
uses xarray & dask to collect BOUT++
data spread across multiple NetCDF files into one contiguous xarray
dataset.
The data from a BOUT++ run can be loaded with just:
bd = open_boutdataset('./run_dir*/BOUT.dmp.*.nc', inputfilepath='./BOUT.inp')
open_boutdataset
returns an instance of an xarray.Dataset
which
contains BOUT-specific information in the attrs
, so represents a
general structure for storing all of the output of a simulation,
including data, input options and (soon) grid data.
