pyfhiaims 0.0.4

An FHI-aims official Python package

pyfhiaims – an FHI-aims Python suite

Installation

You can install pyfhiaims from PyPI via pip:

pip install pyfhiaims

Or, alternatively, you can install it from the main branch of this Git repository:

git clone https://gitlab.com/FHI-aims-club/pyfhiaims.git
cd pyfhiaims
pip install .

Usage

The FHI-aims output file can be parsed in the following way:

from pyfhiaims import AimsStdout

stdout = AimsStdout("aims.out")

Then you can access all the parsed results (stdout.results), run metadata (runtime choices and some geometry statistics — stdout.metadata), warnings (stdout.warnings), and errors. Also, stdout.is_finished_ok tells if FHI-aims run has been finished without any errors.

There are several properties defined that make access to different widely used values easier, like energy and forces. Also, the top level keys of stdout.results dictionary can be accessed using dot notation (so run times can be accessed with stdout.final["time"]).

There are many values that are parsed from the aims.out file; you are welcome to explore stdout.results dictionary.
