carmapy.Element

class carmapy.Element(name, ielem, group, rho, proc, igas)

An object representing a single species in a Group. Note that element refers not to chemical elements, but to components of the group (ie TiO2 Core or MgSiO2 Mantle).

Parameters:

• name (str) – The name of the element

• ielem (int) – The index of the element in the Carma simulation

• group (Group) – The group the element is part of

• rho (float) – The density of the element

• proc (str) –

  Flag that describes the element type. Currently supported types are:

  • ”Volatile”: Homogeneously nucleating elements or the outer element in a heterogeneously nucleating group

  • ”Core Mass”: The inner element in a heterogeneously nucleating group

• igas (int) – The index of the gas which the element grows from and evaporates to in the Carma simulation
