Hmm. Both gas phase and surface phase reactions are supported in openmkm. Could you please share your input file? I'd like to check it for its correctness.

With pmutt I am able to write (cti and xml) files that include reactions that occur in the gas phase as well as on the surface. While it is an alternative to stick to pure cantera without openmkm for sole gas phase systems, this is not so easily achievable when I need both surface reactions and gas phase reactions.
It might very well be that I am doing something wrong, so do you have an example on such usage?
The error is get when running OpenMKM is:
''' Error raised in Cantera. Exiting...
CanteraError thrown by GasKinetics::addReaction: Unknown reaction type specified: 20
''' A first test was made by simply adding the direct formation of NH3 from N2 and H2 in the gas phase (in your openmkm example from pmutt) in addition to all the surface interactions.
I would be very grateful on some pointers on how to proceed here.

Sure,
I have uploaded a thermo.xml file (renamed with .txt as github does not support .xml uploads). It has been generated with the openmkm example in pmutt, only with the change of adding a direct reaction between N2 and H2 to form NH3 in the gas phase (I know, not very likely to occur...), with a completely invented Ea and A. The error message is the same.
@francescalb I just checked by adding a gas phase reaction to the "CTI" file from the (pmutt-openmkm) example, and then used the CTML thermodynamic input file
Couple of pointers for the CTI file.
ideal_gas(name="gas", elements="N H", species="N2 NH3 H2", reactions=[**enter the gas phase reaction id or ids here**])

Just remove the type="surface" for the reaction 14. Since this is not a surface reaction.
Ah, thank you very much! You can then disregard my comment. Indeed you are right, the gas phase reaction was set to be a surface_reaction and in the xml, it worked with setting type="" for that particular reaction.
Thank you for the quick and very helpful reply! (Now going back to find out how to do it correctly with pmutt :) )
