16 ck2cti converts a Chemkin-II-format reaction mechanism file to Cantera
17 input format. The resulting Cantera input file contains a definition
18 of one ideal_gas entry that represents an ideal gas mixture
19 corresponding to the Chemkin-II reaction mechanism. The file also
20 contains Cantera-format definitions for each species and each reaction
21 in the input reaction mechanism file. The Cantera-format mechanism is
22 written to out-file
23 The parameters are as follows:
25 --input=mech-file
27 Chemkin-II reaction mechanism file to be converted. Required.
28 This file must contain the declarations of the elements and
29 species, as well as the reactions (if any). It may also contain
30 the thermodyamic and transport data.
31 --thermo=thermo-file
33 Thermodynamic property database. If the THERMO section of the
34 input file is missing or does not have entries for one or more
35 species, this file will be searched for the required thermo
36 data.
37 --transport=transport-file
39 Transport property database. If this file name is supplied,
40 transport property parameters will be taken from this file and
41 included in the output Cantera-format file. If this parameter is
42 omitted, and no TRANSPORT section was included in the main input
43 file, no transport property parameters will be included in the
44 output.
45 --id=phase-id
47 Optional identification string, used to set the id field of the
48 ideal_gas entry in the Cantera-format output. If this parameter
49 is omitted, it will be set to gas
