pyxtal.interface.vasp module

class pyxtal.interface.vasp.VASP(struc, path='tmp', cmd='mpirun -np 16 vasp_std')

Bases: object

This is a calculator to perform structure optimization in GULP At the moment, only inorganic crystal is considered

Args:

struc: structure object generated by Pyxtal ff: path of forcefield lib opt: conv, conp, single

clean()

read_OSZICAR(path='OSZICAR')

read the enthalpy from OSZICAR

read_OUTCAR(path='OUTCAR')

read time and ncores info from OUTCAR

read_bandgap(path='vasprun.xml')

run(setup=None, pstress=0, level=0, clean=True, read_gap=False, walltime=None)

set_vasp(level=0, pstress=0.0, setup=None)
