This program was designed for easy interface between the crystallographic information file (.cif) and the Large-scale Atomic Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (Lammps).
Simply install from PyPI:
pip install lammps-interface
For development purposes, clone the repository and install it from source:
pip install -e .
Note: In both cases, this adds lammps-interface to your PATH.
To see the optional arguments type:
lammps-interface --help
To create Lammps simulation files for a given cif file type:
lammps-interface cif_file.cif
This will create Lammps simulation files with UFF parameters.
Note: lammps-interface expects CIF files in P1 symmetry.
In order to integrate lammps-interface into your project, check out the Jupyter notebooks provided in /notebooks for usage examples.
