API guide
=========

This guide takes you through the classes used in Struphy launch files generated by::

    struphy params MODEL

for a valid ``MODEL`` from the list of :ref:`models`.
All information for running simulations are contained and can be altered in such launch (parameter) files.
It is recommended to generate such a file and inspect it with an editor like VScode (using Pylance).


Simulation class

.. autoclass:: struphy.Simulation

For available models see :ref:`models`.

For domains see :ref:`avail_mappings`.

For fluid backgrounds see :ref:`equils_avail`.

.. _species:

Species types
-------------

Each Struphy model is a collection of species of one of the following types:

.. autoclass:: struphy.models.species.FieldSpecies

.. autoclass:: struphy.models.species.FluidSpecies

.. autoclass:: struphy.models.species.ParticleSpecies

.. automethod:: struphy.models.species.Species.set_species_properties


Variable types
--------------

Each species can contain multiple variables.

.. autoclass:: struphy.models.variables.PICVariable

.. autoclass:: struphy.models.variables.FEECVariable

.. autoclass:: struphy.models.variables.SPHVariable


Particle parameters
-------------------

.. autoclass:: struphy.particles.parameters.LoadingParameters
