SIESTAstepper

SIESTAstepper runs SIESTA step by step, designed for constrained calculations.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install SIESTAstepper.

pip install SIESTAstepper

Usage

All SIESTA working directories must be named as i1, i2, i3 ... and so on.

In code

import SIESTAstepper

#Sets the path of the working directory
SIESTAstepper.cwd = "path/to/working/directory"

#Sets the name of SIESTA log files (default is "log")
SIESTAstepper.log = "log"

#Sets number of cores for parallel run
SIESTAstepper.cores = 4

#Sets Anaconda environment
SIESTAstepper.conda = "envir"

# Runs SIESTA step by step
SIESTAstepper.run("graphene")

# Converts last geometry of an ANI to FDF by using the previous FDF and ANI files
SIESTAstepper.ani_to_fdf("path/to/ANI", "path/to/FDF", "path/to/newFDF")

# Converts XYZ to FDF by using the previous FDF and XYZ files
SIESTAstepper.xyz_to_fdf("path/to/XYZ", "path/to/FDF", "path/to/newFDF")

#Merges ANI files
SIESTAstepper.merge_ani(label = "graphene")

#Merges ANI files by setting a path
SIESTAstepper.merge_ani(label = "graphene", path = "path/to/i*/ANI/files")

#Merges ANI files by setting a missing files path
SIESTAstepper.merge_ani(label = "graphene", missing="path/to/i*/missing/ANI/files")

# Runs SIESTA a for given step
SIESTAstepper.run_next("1", "graphene")

# Plots and returns energies from log files
SIESTAstepper.analysis()

# Returns energies from log files without plotting
SIESTAstepper.analysis(plot_ = False)

# Plots and returns energies from log files by setting a path
SIESTAstepper.analysis(path = "path/to/i*/log/files")

# Plots and returns energies from log files by setting a missing files path
SIESTAstepper.analysis(missing = "path/to/i*/missing/log/files")
