Examples of IC creation and snapshot reading/interpretation for the GADGET-4 simulation code. The example scripts listed below are intended as a starting point for further development. Many of the scripts that I use for my research are also here (currently undocumented).

Requires: numpy, scipy, matplotlib, h5py

Helper functions

1. IC_functions.py: Helper functions related to preparing initial conditions for simulations.
2. snapshot_functions.py: Helper functions related to reading and analyzing simulation snapshots.

See code for further documentation.

Example initial conditions

1. write_IC_concordance_DMO.py: generate dark matter initial conditions from a standard power spectrum.
2. write_IC_poisson.py: generate primordial black hole initial conditions. Particles are Poisson-distributed with zero velocity and a lognormal mass spectrum.

Example snapshot analysis

1. plot_field.py: read a simulation snapshot and plot the cloud-in-cell binned density field.
2. plot_power.py: read a simulation snapshot and plot the density power spectrum.
3. plot_profiles.py: read a simulation snapshot and the associated FOF file and plot the density profiles of the largest few halos.
