berni 0.1.0

Database of interaction models for molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations

Berni

A database of interaction models and trajectory samples for molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. Berni can export interaction models to a range of simulation backends, such as atooms, LAMMPS, RUMD.

Quick start

Get info on the available models

import berni
for model in berni.models:
    print(f'- "{model["name"]}": {model["description"]}')

- "bernu_hiwatari_hansen_pastore": Binary soft-sphere mixture with size ratio of 1.4
- "coslovich_pastore": Short-ranged pairwise-additive model for silica
- "dellavalle_gazzillo_frattini_pastore": Binary Lennard-Jones mixture model for NiY alloys
- "gaussian_core": One-component Gaussian core model with long-range cutoff
- "grigera_cavagna_giardina_parisi": Binary soft-sphere mixture with size ratio of 1.2 and smooth cutoff
- "harmonic_spheres": Binary mixture of harmonic spheres with size ratio of 1.4
- "kob_andersen": Binary Kob-Andersen Lennard-Jones mixture
- "kob_andersen_2": Ternary Kob-Andersen Lennard-Jones mixture
- "lennard_jones": One-component Lennard-Jones model
- "roux_barrat_hansen": Binary soft-sphere mixture with size ratio of 1.2
- "wahnstrom": Binary Lennard-Jones mixture with size ratio of 1.2

Get a specific model as a dictionary in the default schema

berni.models.get("lennard_jones")

Print the qualified names of the available samples

Get a local copy of a Lennard-Jones fluid sample

local_file = berni.models.get("lennard_jones-5cc3b80bc415fa5c262e83410ca65779.xyz")

The local_file can then be used to start a simulation or further analysis.

Export a model for a simulation backend

berni.models.export("kob_andersen", backend='lammps')
