pioud-process 0.1.0

A package to process ouput of PIOUD

pioud_process

A Python package for generating input and processing output of PIOUD (A Path Integral Molecular Dynamicscode integrated with Quantum ESPRESSO).

Features

• GUI Interface: A user-friendly graphical interface for:
  • Generating input files for PIOUD from and .cif crystal structure files.
  • Creating submission scripts for HPC clusters (PBS/SLURM).
  • Visualizing and setting up simulation parameters.

• Analysis Tools:
  • Time averaging of properties.
  • Radial Distribution Function (RDF) analysis.
  • SOAP (Smooth Overlap of Atomic Positions) analysis.
  • MBTR (Many-Body Tensor Representation) analysis.
  • Autocorrelation function calculation.

Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install pioud-process

From Source

To install the package from source, clone the repository and install it using pip:

git clone https://github.com/Aadhityan-A/pioud_process.git
cd pioud_process
pip install .

For development mode, use:

pip install -e .

Usage

Graphical User Interface (GUI)

After installation, you can launch the GUI using the command line:

pioud-process

The GUI allows you to:

1. File Input: Upload CIF files and set calculation prefixes.
2. PIMD Parameters: Configure Path Integral Molecular Dynamics settings (beads, blocks, steps, temperature, etc.).
3. QE Parameters: Set up Quantum ESPRESSO SCF parameters (cutoffs, k-points, smearing, etc.).
4. HPCC Submit: Generate submission scripts for PBS or SLURM schedulers.

Library Usage

You can also use the analysis modules directly in your Python scripts:

from pioud_process.time_average import calculate_qe_time_averaged_properties

# Example usage
# results = calculate_qe_time_averaged_properties(path_to_data, start_step, end_step)

Dependencies

• numpy
• ase
• scipy
• dscribe
• skmatter
• tkinter (usually included with Python)
