Python Organic Crystal Simulation Environment

Python Organic Crystal Simulation Environment (PYOCSE)

This is a public repository that aims to automate the simulation of organic crystals with a primary emphasis on the mechanical properties of organic crystals. Currently, we focus on two components:

1. Automate the geneation of structural model and force field (through ambertools or openff)
2. Design different workflows to simulate the properties of organic crystals under mechanical loads (powered by lammps)

Python Setup

git clone this repository and then go to the root directory

conda env create -n pyocse
conda activate pyocse
pip install .

If you want to update the existing ocse enviroment

conda activate pyocse
conda env update --file environment.yml

LAMMPS Setup:

make yes-MOLECULE
make yes-EXTRA-MOLECULE 
make yes-KSPACE 
make mpi -j 12

Examples

1. Add your structure to the database

# Find your structure from https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/structures/Search?
tag = {
       "csd_code": 'ACSALA',
       "ccdc_number": 1101020,
       "smiles": "CC(=O)OC1=CC=CC=C1C(O)=O",
}

# Load the pyxtal structure
from pyxtal import pyxtal
xtal = pyxtal(molecular=True)
xtal.from_seed(str(tag['ccdc_number'])+'.cif',
               molecules=[str(tag['smiles'])+'.smi'])
xtal.tag = tag
print(xtal)

# Deposit your structure
from pyxtal.db import make_entry_from_pyxtal, database
entry = make_entry_from_pyxtal(xtal)
db = database('dataset/mech.db')
db.add(entry)

2. 3D periodic boundary condictions (shearing/tensile/compression)

from pyocse.build import Builder
from pyxtal.db import database
import numpy as np
import os

# Set the crystal model
data = [
        ('ACSALA', [[1,0,0], [0,1,0], [0,0,1]]),
       ]
style = 'openff' #'gaff'
db = database('dataset/mech.db')

# Define your desired dimension 
dim = [100, 40, 40]

# Prepare the lammps input files
for d in data:
    (code, matrix) = d
    matrix = np.array(matrix)
    print(code)
    xtal = db.get_pyxtal(code)
    smiles = [mol.smile for mol in xtal.molecules]
    bu = Builder(smiles=smiles, style=style)
    bu.set_xtal(xtal, para_min=10.0)

    # Directory
    folder = code + '-' + style
    if not os.path.exists(folder): os.makedirs(folder)
    cwd = os.getcwd()
    os.chdir(folder)

    # Example 1: tensile, assuming z direction
    task1 = {'type': 'tensile',
             'temperature': 300,
             'pressure': 1.0,
             'max_strain': 0.1,
             'rate': 1e+8,
             }

    bu.set_slab(bu.xtal, bu.xtal_mol_list, matrix=matrix, dim=dim)
    print('Supercell:  ', bu.ase_slab.get_cell_lengths_and_angles())
    bu.set_task(task1)

    bu.lammps_slab.write_lammps()
    # Just for a quick view from VESTA
    bu.ase_slab.write('test.xyz', format='extxyz')
    os.chdir(cwd)
