If the data is 1D, then it is much simpler to use a method adapted to 1D, which would mean using something other than the Einstein Toolkit. For example, it may be possible to do this in Mathematica, Matlab, or similar, or even directly in Python.</div><div><br></div><div>Does someone have a suggestion for where Maitraya could look for numerical tools for doing this in 1D?</div><div><br></div></div><div apple-content-edited="true">
