elematic 1.0.1

Material information management via MatML for Python

elematic

Materials information management utilities in Python using the MatML schema from NIST.

Features

• Convert MatML XML files to Python data structures.
• Inspect and edit materials information.
• Use materials information in other Python projects.

Documentation

Documentation is available, but still in work.

Installation

Install elematic with pip.

pip install elematic@git+https://github.com/nogula/elematic@main

Usage

This package comprises four utilities:

1. elematic.api.MatML_api: forms the basic classes and data structure for interacting with MatML data.
2. elematic.api.io: provides means to import and export MatML data from XML and other files.
3. elematic.api.utilities: provides helper functions to streamline the interaction of materials information.
4. elematic.gui: (not yet implemented) provides a means of visually inspecting and editing MatML data.

See the Wiki tutorial for more help.
