pisces.extensions.simulation.gadget.frontends.Gadget4Frontend.generate_initial_conditions#

Gadget4Frontend.generate_initial_conditions(*args, **kwargs) → Any#

Generate the necessary initial condition files from this frontend.

This method serves as the main entry point for generating initial conditions. It first validates the runtime configuration using _validate_runtime_configuration(), and then calls _generate_initial_conditions() to perform the actual file generation.

Depending on the frontend implementation, this may involve writing files in a specific format, creating metadata, or performing additional setup steps.

Parameters:

  • *args – Positional arguments forwarded to both validation and generation.

  • **kwargs – Keyword arguments forwarded to both validation and generation.

Returns:

  • The output from :meth:`_generate_initial_conditions`, which may vary

  • depending on the frontend implementation.
