Description

This program was designed for easy interface between the crystallographic information file (.cif) and the Large-scale Atomic Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (Lammps).

Installation

Clone the repository, enter the directory and install dependencies by:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The Python module can be installed globally by:

python setup.py install

Usage

Command line interface

To see the optional arguments type:

python lammps_interface.py --help

To create Lammps simulation files for a given cif file type:

python lammps_interface.py cif_file.cif

This will create Lammps simulation files with UFF parameters.

Jupyter notebook

In order to implement module to your project check out Jupyter notebooks provided in this repository in /notebooks for usage examples.
