whaler

Analysis software for the output files of ORCA (computational chemistry software)

Installation and dependencies

Above the directory containing setup.py, install using: >>pip install whaler

This software has been tested in an Anaconda environment containing the following packages and their respective dependencies:

  • python (v. 3.6.1)
  • numpy
  • pandas

Usage

Currently, the package can be run from any directory as follows:

>> whaler <params>

The general available are:

>> filegen (generation of geo.inp files and their parent directories)

>> gs (calculation of ground states)

>> freqinp (generation of frequency calculation input files from geo results)

>> singleinp (like freqinp, but for single-point inputs)

>> thermo (extraction of thermodynamic parameters from freq output)

The custom available, relevant to the 2M2 + N2 -> 2M2N reaction are:

>> N2bonds (calculation of relevant bond lengths)

>> crudeN2 (calculation of reaction energies from geo.log energies)

>> N2act (proper thermodynamic calculation of reaction energies)

All folders in the current directory will be considered in the analysis. config.py is meant to be easily edited by the user.
