Dear developers,

I was wondering if I could run RASPA using MPI. Or is there any other way to make parallelization?

Thanks
Manuel

Dear user

I´ve been using RASPA over the course of a week now and I went through the most relevant examples. Right now I want to test RASPA in my research problem, studying the adsorption of simple amine molecule with ZSM-5 Al-containing zeolites. I´ve tried to prepare a pyridine.def input file (below) prepared from the benzene.def file (as an example) and using the cartesian position obtained from Avogadro. However, I´m not sure if this position are the relative position mentioned in the documentation of RASPA. Also I´ve inserted all the bonds by hand.

Please give me some feedback about this input file and also advice on tools that can make the preparation of such input easier.

Thanks
Manuel
