I have Chemkin .asc files that are used for running Chemkin from a .bat file. Has anyone successfully converted Chemkin .asc files into a .yaml format?

Hi Dudley,

As far as I can tell, the .asc files produced by the Chemkin preprocessor are an undocumented, internal Chemkin format. I think you need to have the original kinetics/thermo/transport input files (often with .inp or .dat extensions) to have any chance at converting them to the Cantera YAML format.
