This program was designed for easy interface between the crystallographic information file (.cif) and the Large-scale Atomic Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (Lammps).
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
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.
In order to implement module to your project check out Jupyter notebooks provided in this repository in /notebooks for usage examples.
