Note

The current document only shows example use of some methods, and does not discuss all the options available. To see these, do not hesitate to use the help command, for example help m.write will return more detailed instructions on using the write method.

To create a general model, you will need to first import the Model class from the Python Hyperion module:

from hyperion.model import Model

it is then easy to set up a generic model using:

m = Model()

The model can then be set up using methods of the Model instance. These are described in the following sections.

Once the model is set up, you can write it out to the disk for use with the Fortran radiation transfer code:

m.write('example.rtin')
