Generic protoplanetary disk model with a simple chemistry + A 2D envelope with density dependence on the theta coordinate in spherical grid + polar cavity created by an outflow.

The density is given by

            Sigma(r,phi)          /   z^2    \
    rho =  ---------------- * exp| - -------- |
            Hp * sqrt(2*pi)       \   2*Hp^2 /

    Sigma - surface density
    Hp    - Pressure scale height
    Hp/r  = hrdisk * (r/rdisk)^plh

The molecular abundance function takes into account dissociation and freeze-out of the molecules
For photodissociation only the continuum (dust) shielding is taken into account in a way that
whenever the continuum optical depth radially drops below a threshold value the molecular abundance
is dropped to zero. For freeze-out the molecular abundance below a threshold temperature is decreased
by a given fractor.

To run the model you need to install RADMC-3D and a folder with the following files:
