Hydrogen-disordered ice generator

GenIce
======

Generate proton-disordered ice structures for GROMACS.

Requirements
------------

- Python 3
- NetworkX
- numpy

Note: WinPython includes all of these requirements. ##Installation
GenIce is registered to PyPI (Python Package Index). Install with pip3.

::

pip3 install genice

Uninstallation
--------------

::

pip3 uninstall genice

Usage
-----

::

usage: genice [-h] [--rep REP REP REP] [--dens DENS] [--seed SEED]
[--format gmeqdXoc] [--water model] [--guest D=empty] [--debug]
[--quiet]
Type

positional arguments:
Type Crystal type (1c,1h,etc.)

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--rep REP REP REP, -r REP REP REP
Repeat the unit cell in x,y, and z directions. [2,2,2]
--dens DENS, -d DENS Specify the ice density in g/cm3
--seed SEED, -s SEED Random seed [1000]
--format gmeqdXoc, -f gmeqdXoc
Specify file format [g(romacs)|m(dview)|e(uler)|q(uate
rnion)|d(igraph)|o(penScad)|c(entersofmass)]
--water model, -w model
Specify water model. (tip3p, tip4p, etc.)
--guest D=empty, -g D=empty
Specify guest in the cage. (D=empty, T=co2, etc.)
--debug, -D Output debugging info.
--quiet, -q Do not output progress messages.

Example
-------

- To make a 3x3x3 units of a hydrogen-disordered ice IV (4) of TIP4P
water in GROMACS .gro format:

::

genice --water tip4p --rep 3 3 3 4 > ice4.gro

- To make a CS1 clathrate hydrate structure of TIP4P water containing
CO2 in GROMACS .gro format:

::

genice -g 12=co2 -g 14=co2 --water tip4p CS1 > cs1.gro

- To make a 2x2x4 units of CS2 clathrate hydrate structure of TIP4P
water containing THF (united atom with a dummy site) in the large
cage in GROMACS .gro format:

::

genice -g 16=uathf6 --water tip4p --rep 2 2 4 CS2 > cs2-224.gro

Structure generation
--------------------

The program generates various ice lattice with proton disorder and
without defect. Total dipole moment is always set to zero. The minimal
structure (with --rep 1 1 1 option) is not always the unit cell of the
lattice because it is difficult to deal with the hydrogen bond network
topology of tiny lattice under periodic boundary condition. Note that
the generated structure is not optimal according to the potential
energy.
