Simulation algorithms and theory / GCMD-Example 13: MD MuPT
Last post by iwanchemist - May 25, 2024, 08:44:50 AM
Hello Prof. Dubbeldam,
I wanna ask you about GCMD (MC/MD) skrip in module RASPA like this:

            IdealGasRosenbluthWeight  1.0
            SwapProbability           1.0

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?

General / Defining a parametric flexible...
Last post by gunjanauti - January 23, 2024, 11:08:35 AM
How can I define a flexible molecules in a def file such that bond length between 0-3 is a function of bond lengths of 0-1 and 0-2 and the angle between 0-1-2? (d3 = d1cos(theta) + d2cos(theta)).
How can we use functions in .def file? And being a flexible model, this length should change every timestep, but since the .def file is only read at the start of this simulation, is there any other way to define this molecule?

Last post by sridhar - November 24, 2023, 07:51:38 AM
Dear Prof. Dubbeldam and RASPA community,

I would like to calculate the adsorption isotherm for hydrogen at 77K on IRMOF-1. The absolute adsorption uptake of the RASPA results showed higher values, almost two times more at high pressures (i.e., 100 bar) compared to the experimental results and GCMC calculations in the literature. I am sure that the force-field interactions taken are accurate. The forcefield, pseduoatoms, molecule files, simulation.input used in my RASPA calculations are given below. The IRMOF-1 cif file was used from RASPA software (i.e., raspa/structures/mofs/cif/IRMOF-1.cif). Can you please go through the input files and let me know incase any issues?

General / Enthalpy of adsorption

Hi.
How can I calculate the enthalpy of adsorption in the state of adsorption on the adsorbent with extra cation?
The software is not able to calculate the enthalpy for adsorption in this case.

General / How to change the atom index i...
Last post by kokojiang - October 24, 2023, 06:56:23 AM
Dear all,
I have the cif file of the MOF structure, the atoms and their indexes goes like this:
C1 1.0 0.3521 0.68248 0.49724
Cr2 1.0 0.6727 0.73299 0.90674
C3 1.0 0.9812 0.86236 0.85294
C4 1.0 0.29174 0.5265 0.71863
...
C1185 1.0 0.17108 0.59341 0.61745
C1186 1.0 0.14289 0.58226 0.66194
C1187 1.0 0.1861 0.67126 0.70408
Cr1188 1.0 0.25915 0.66547 0.69122
...
But in the simulation, we divided the atoms to different types,e.g. only 3 types of carbon atom and 2 types of Cr and so on. The force field is made for the type of atoms such as:
C1 lennard-jones 47.8562 3.47299
C2 lennard-jones 47.8562 3.47299
Cr1 lennard-jones 7.54829 2.69319
Cr2 lennard-jones 7.54829 2.69319
So the data need to be like:
C1 1.0 0.3521 0.68248 0.49724
Cr2 1.0 0.6727 0.73299 0.90674
C1 1.0 0.9812 0.86236 0.85294
C2 1.0 0.29174 0.5265 0.71863
...
C1 1.0 0.17108 0.59341 0.61745
C1 1.0 0.14289 0.58226 0.66194
C2 1.0 0.1861 0.67126 0.70408
Cr2 1.0 0.25915 0.66547 0.69122
...
How do I change the atom index? There are too many atoms for me to do it manually. Is there any software that can do this ?
