Aestimo does not work with the preset sample file

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hello,
I am only an occasional python programmer and I have some difficulties to get aestimo up and running. After writing to @sblisesivdin , he adviced me to post on GitHub, so here is the first problem I encountered.

I first tried running config.py and aestimo.py. aestimo complained that some parameters were missing in the preset sample file, which is sample_2qw_InGaN_GaN_vs_1ddcc.py. If I remember, it was meff_method and fermi_np_scheme, but maybe some other parameter. Thinking that it was some new features and that older sample files had not been updated for that, I changed the input file for sample_double_qw.py, which is also in the main directory and that worked better.

If I'm correct, maybe the first step would be to change the default sample file, and then to add a default configuration so that sample files only mention the differences with the default config. This would make the set of sample files easier to maintain in case of parameter change.

You can run the example file directly, it will override the config file setting, we will provide a sample file that include all settings although most of the example files are updated to all used settings that work with aetimo_eh.py solver.
