Particle Attributes

Particle attributes are defined in the :pyamuse.datamodel.particle_attributes. These attributes can be accessed in two ways, on the particle(s) or as a function imported from the module. When accessed on the particles, the first parameter (usually called `particles`) must not be given.

To access these functions directly do:

from amuse.datamodel.particle_attributes import *
from amuse.lab import new_plummer_sphere

particles = new_plummer_sphere(100)
print kinetic_enery(particles)

To access these functions as an attribute do:

from amuse.lab import new_plummer_sphere

particles = new_plummer_sphere(100)

print particles.kinetic_energy()
