Description:

aiidacp2kng 1.0.0b2

AiiDA CP2K

The CP2K plugin for the AiiDA workflow and provenance engine.

Installation
If you use pip, you can install it as:
pip install aiida-cp2k

Features
Following the philosophy to ''enable without getting in the way'', this plugin provides access to all of CP2K's capabilities through a small set of well-tested features:

A full CP2K input has to be provided as a nested Python dictionary (example):

params = {'FORCE_EVAL': {'METHOD': 'Quickstep', 'DFT': { ... }}}
calc.use_parameters(ParameterData(dict=params))


Section parameters are stored as key _ in the dictionary:

xc_section = {'XC_FUNCTIONAL': {'_': 'LDA'}}


Repeated sections are stored as a list:

kind_section = [{'_': 'H', 'BASIS_SET': 'DZVP-MOLOPT-GTH', 'POTENTIAL': 'GTH-LDA'},
{'_': 'O', 'BASIS_SET': 'DZVP-MOLOPT-GTH', 'POTENTIAL': 'GTH-LDA'}]


Most data files (basis sets, pseudo potentials, VdW, etc.) are auto-discovered from CP2K's data directory.

dft_section = {'BASIS_SET_FILE_NAME': 'BASIS_MOLOPT', ...}


Additional data files can be added as AiiDA SinglefileData (example):

water_pot = SinglefileData(file="/tmp/water.pot")
calc.use_file(water_pot, linkname="water_pot")


The start geometry can be provided as AiiDA StructureData (example):

atoms = ase.build.molecule('H2O', vacuum=2.0)
calc.use_structure(StructureData(ase=atoms))


Alternatively the start geometry can be contained in the CP2K input (example):

coord_section = {' ': ['H 2.0 2.0 2.737166',
'H 2.0 2.0 2.000000']},


For restarting a calculation a parent folder can be attached (example):

calc2.use_parent_folder(calc1.out.remote_folder)


By default only the output and restart file (if present) are retrieved. Additional files are retrieved upon request (example):

settings = {'additional_retrieve_list': ["*.cube"]}
calc.use_settings(ParameterData(dict=settings))


The final geometry is extracted from the restart file (if present) and stored in AiiDA (example):

print(calc.out.output_structure)


From the CP2K output only the #warnings and final energy are parsed (example):

print(calc.res.nwarnings, calc.res.energy, calc.res.energy_units)



The calculation is considered failed if #warnings can not be found (example).


The conversion of geometries between AiiDA and CP2K has a precision of at least 1e-10 Ångström (example).


The Python code complies with the Flake8 coding conventions.


Testing
