Who it is for
- Researchers with Python and thermodynamics knowledge preparing reacting-system calculations.
How to use it
- Load a phase following the Python tutorial.
- Set temperature, pressure and composition, then inspect properties.
AIPOCH has not verified execution.
Read usage documentationInputs
- A YAML phase or mechanism definition, composition and thermodynamic state values.
Outputs
- Phase properties and species information for the specified state.

Access conditions
- The pinned License.txt includes BSD-3-Clause source/binary notice and non-endorsement terms.
- Python, MATLAB and C++ interfaces depend on the environment. Mechanism data licensing and applicability require separate review; accuracy for every chemical system is not established.
- Community indexing of this software or analysis workflow only. External models, datasets, services and third-party components have separate terms. Installation, scientific accuracy and suitability were not validated.
- Check mechanism applicability and the documented SI-unit conventions; catalog inclusion does not validate a mechanism.
