Gadget4Frontend

class pisces.extensions.simulation.gadget.frontends.Gadget4Frontend(initial_conditions: InitialConditions, reset_configuration: bool = False, **kwargs)

Simulation frontend for the Gadget-4 N-body/SPH code.

This class translates Pisces InitialConditions objects into Gadget-4–compatible HDF5 initial condition (IC) files. It manages configuration, validation, preprocessing, and file generation to ensure that particle data and metadata are correctly written in Gadget-4’s expected format.

Methods

__init__(initial_conditions[, ...])	Construct a simulation frontend and attach it to an IC object.
generate_initial_conditions(*args, **kwargs)	Generate the necessary initial condition files from this frontend.

Attributes

config	The ConfigManager instance associated with this frontend.
config_path	Absolute path to the configuration file for this frontend.
default_configuration_path	Absolute path to the default configuration file template for this frontend.
ic_directory	Filesystem directory where the initial conditions object is stored.
initial_conditions	The IC object that this frontend is bound to.
logger	Logger instance associated with this frontend.
