Plasma Chemistry Import
Introduction
Plasma chemistries can easily have 10s of species and 100s of reactions. When reaching this level of complexity it is laborious to create a plasma chemistry at the user interface level. The Plasma Chemistry Import feature automatically creates a complete plasma chemistry from a text file for models using the Plasma and Plasma, Time Periodic interfaces. The following aspects of a plasma chemistry can be specified in the file:
•
Species properties including thermodynamic parameters
•
Reaction groups for electron impact reactions and heavy species reactions
•
Surface reactions
•
Surface reaction groups
When plasma chemistries are imported using the Plasma Chemistry Import feature, if necessary, node groups for Species, Surface Species, and Surface Reaction will also be created automatically, and all the corresponding features will be moved into these node groups, including the ones that already exist before the import.
