VICE is a user-friendly python_ package designed to model chemical enrichment in galaxies.
- 77 elements on the periodic table
- Fast integration of one-zone models
- Enrichment from single stellar populations
- Highly flexible nucleosynthetic yield calculations
- User-defined mathematical forms describing:
- Nucleosynthetic yields in simulations
- Mixing processes in multi-zone models
- Infall and star formation histories
- The stellar initial mass function
- The star formation law
- Element-by-element infall metallicities
- Type Ia supernova delay-time distributions

Under starbursts_, we provide the python_ code which runs the simulations and
produces the figures in Johnson & Weinberg (2020). Under migration_, we
provide the same for Johnson et al. (2021).
