General / iRASPA cannot display the dens...
Last post by John Walker - Today at 09:16:10 AM
Dear:
    I have recently been using MOF materials for methane adsorption, and have attempted to import VTK files generated by RASPA2.0.4 into the IRASPA software. I am only able to generate MOF structure diagrams, but not the methane diagrams. I imported using 'DensityProfile_methane' and 'COMDensityProfile_methane' from the VTK folder, and received the error 'Import failed, Cannot read VTK header (line: 910 file: iraspagui/mainwindow.cpp)'. Importing 'Framework_final.pdb' from the Movies folder does display the molecular structure, which confuses me. How can I produce a methane adsorption density map? I can do it with VisIt.

Input files and parameters / Ideal Gas Rosenbluth Weight Gr...
Last post by ngantzler - May 28, 2024, 08:15:16 PM
Hi Dr. Dubbeldam,
 
I am putting together a molecular model and have gotten an IGRW > 1.0. Similar models such as the PFOA model used in The role of surface thermodynamics and kinetics in the removal of PFOA from aqueous solutions give an IGRW~3.69 (T=298 K).

My understanding is that the IGRW = 1.0 for small molecules (e.g. butane) where we can neglect intra-molecular interactions; however, for larger molecules (e.g. octane) we expect an IGRW < 1.0, so I don't understand what it means to have a value greater then 1.0. 

Is an IGRW > 1.0 physically meaningful? What is the physical intuition to apply here? Could this be due to degenerate energy states?
 
Thanks,
Nick

Hello Prof. Dubbeldam,
I wanna ask you about GCMD (MC/MD) skrip in module RASPA like this:

Based on this script, I am confused. If the MD script is simulated for 1,000,000 cycles, what is the default duration of the Monte Carlo simulation?

Output files / absoulte and excess adsorption
Last post by Junran Lu - May 24, 2024, 04:09:26 AM
Dear  Professor David:
In the simulation of toluene adsorption on MFI-type zeolite,  the output-file shows, adsorption load is postive, and excess load is negative; in the simluation.input, we set the external temperature and pressure are 298K and 1e5Pa, respeactively;  which adsorption result is correct under 298K/1e5Pa tolulene adsorption simulation?

the detail amount of adsorption is following:

Dear Dr. Dubbeldam,

We are having a similar problem with C2H2 and would like to try your suggestion, but we could not find in the manual how to set up a hard-sphere potential on the Hydrogen. What are the keyword and parameters?

Good afternoon!
Faced with the problem of installing on ububntu, I understand you need to install as written in the manual or differently? Is there an instruction for installing on ububntu?
