PotentialCalculation.jl

Documentation	Build Status

A Julia package to calculate potential energy between two molecules.

Fitting of potential energy is done by separate package.

Currently supported backendes are ORCA and Psi4.

Installation

Basic usage

Load package

using PotentialCalculation

or if using parallelization (recommended).

using Distributed
@everywhere using PotentialCalculation

Creating inputs and doing basic calculation, where two molecules are calculated with various distances and orientations from each other.

# Creating calculation method
mp2 = Calculator(
        "RI-MP2 RIJK TIGHTSCF",
        "aug-cc-pVTZ aug-cc-pVTZ/C def2/JK",
         Orca()
      )

# Creating argon atom
Ar = Cluster(zeros(3), AtomOnlySymbol("Ar"))

# File where other molecule is taken
trajfile="Some trajectory.xyz"

# Create input for calculations
inputs = create_inputs(
            trajfile,    # First molecule will be picked from here
            Ar,          # Second molecule will be picked from here
            mp2;         # Calculator to do electronic structure calculations
            nsaples=32,  # How many lines are calculated
            max_e=10000, # Maximum energy in cm⁻¹ -
                         #   limit to areas where energy is less than this
            npoints=50   # Number of points per line
        )  

# Do calculation
data = calculate_potential(inputs, save_file="save file")

New calculations with different method can be done on previous points.

#New method
ccf12 = Calculator(
           "CCSD(T)-F12/RI TIGHTSCF",
           "cc-pVDZ-F12 cc-pVDZ-F12-CABS cc-pVTZ/C",
           Orca(maxmem=4000)
        )

data2 = calculate_potential(
          "previous results file",
          ccf12,  # Calculate with this method now
          save_file="new save file",
          restart_file="restart file"
       )

To restart calculations from restart file.

data3 = continue_calculation(
          "restart file",
          Orca(maxmem=4000),
          save_file="final save file",
          restart_file="new restart file"
        )
