Python interface for the Enhanced Monte Carlo (EMC) package
Project description
Enhanced Monte Carlo (EMC) Python Interface
This module is a thin Python wrapper library of the EMC package that allows you to use all EMC functionalities with Python interface.
EMC creates input structures from SMILES strings and LAMMPS input files for particle simulations with atomistic force fields - Born, COMPASS, PCFF, CHARMM, OPLS, TraPPE or coarse-grained force fields - DPD, Martini, SDK.
- See the example input files on how to prepare EMC input (.esh) files.
- See the docs to understand more about EMC.
The package works out of the box without pre-installation of EMC or any configuration. Please open an issue if you find something missing or not working as expected.
Installation
pip install emc-pypi
Usage
import pyemc
# Run the emc_setup.pl and generate the build.emc file for the build command
pyemc.setup('your-setup-file.esh')
# Or you can pass in arguments like this
pyemc.setup('your-setup-file.esh', '-ntotal=1000', '-field=opls-aa')
# Finally, run the emc executable to create simulation input files
pyemc.build('build.emc')
