General / iRASPA cannot display the dens...
Last post by John Walker - May 29, 2024, 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?

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?

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?
