• Free software: BSD-3-Clause

• Documentation: https://molssi-seamm.github.io/supercell_step/index.html

• Code: https://github.com/molssi-seamm/supercell_step

Features

• Currently only accepts na, nb, and nc, the numbers of cells in the three directions.

• To do:

  • Create a supercell with a minimum dimension, e.g. 10 Å.

  • Create orthorhombic cells from hexagonal ones.

  • Build using the primitive cell rather than conventional.
