General / About Atoms named xx+number in...
Last post by Yu_Zhuochen - February 14, 2023, 03:10:01 AM
Dear Prof. Dubbeldam:
I am trying to use GenericMOFs forcefield to make simulations of CO2/H2 adsorption among a database containing 600 COFs. Previouse researchers have already reported some results about 10 COFs with the best performance from the CORE-COF-2020 database(CO2/H2 separation, 0.15:0.85, 1bar-298K&0.1bar-298K).
When I try to reproduce simulation from a previous paper(J. Phys. Chem. C 2020, 124, 22577−22590), even if I set all parameters totally the same as the paper did(forcefiled:DREIDING(I choose GenericMOFs in RASPA), CutOFFVDW 14.0, CO2&H2 are found from share/molecues/TraPPE).
I choosed 5 COFs structures: NPN-2, COF-42-gra, FLT-COF-1, COF-JLU3, PyTTA-BFBIm-iCOF as a test case.

However, my simulation results don't match the paper at all!
I found that some cifs have such a form:

When RASPA load an atom named xx, it cannot be read.
How can I do to solve this problem?

Dear Prof. :
I wonder how to calculate the radii when we simulate a flexible molecue or framework indeed.

General / Atomization energies in partit...
Last post by w_wonder - February 07, 2023, 08:57:30 PM
Hi,

  This is related to https://forums.iraspa.org/index.php?topic=1227.0
  In RASPA2, if I understand correctly, https://pure.tudelft.nl/ws/portalfiles/portal/71296377/Thesis_Ahmadreza_Rahbari.pdf, A73, including an exponential factor exp(D_e/(kT)).

  If the system includes a charged species, e.g., OH^-, will the atomization energy be calculated from negatively charged atom, e.g., OH^- -> O^- and H?

  From what I understand, the atomization energy is for setting up zero point, as long as the references (e.g., neutral atoms for neutral molecules) are consistent, the calculations should be fine. But, I know very little about the implementation of RASPA2 (go through the source code is quite complicated), does OH^- -> O^- and H OK for simulating charged molecules? Or should I use a different approach?

Thank you very much

Hi, one more question, in https://github.com/iRASPA/RASPA2/blob/master/examples/Tutorial/ReactionEnsembleAmmonia/simulation.input
ExternalPressure 4e7

but, for the data in Table A5 https://pure.tudelft.nl/ws/portalfiles/portal/71296377/Thesis_Ahmadreza_Rahbari.pdf
I can reproduce (~20% accuracy) with 1e5 pressure (standard) based on Gaussian output (multiplying /V and exp(beta T) terms; V = RT/p), if I use 4e7, that will lead to orders of magnitude difference.

Question 1: for the data in Table A5, what pressure was used?
Question 2: if the answer to question 1 is the standard pressure, does the partition function needs to be consistent with ExternalPressure? If the answer to question 1 is the ExternalPressure, how it was evaluated?
Thanks

General / Inquiry regarding reconvening ...
Last post by saif - January 26, 2023, 09:30:50 PM
Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing well,

I am currently working on a project related to gas separation by adsorption on MOFs using GCMC on RASPA on an HPC. I made a run of 120,000 cycles thinking that they will be enough to equilibrate, yet I found that couple of 10,000 cycles are additionally needed. After my first run was completed, I wanted to continue running the job for the additional cycles instead of repeating the entire run from the beginning. I tried the option of ContinueAfterCrash, and RestartFile but neither worked and showed the same previous output file. Are there any other possible ways to reconvene the run from where it stopped without the need to repeat it?

Your guidance is appreciated and many thanks in advance.

Thanks.

Looks like exp(D0/kT) and total atomic energy are the keys. I managed to verified ~ 20%.

Bug reports / Two frameworks in the same sim...
Last post by TFabiani - January 20, 2023, 12:53:16 PM
Dear,

I faced up the following issue. When using more than one framework in the simulation, the charges are applied only to the second framework. The simulation of one framework of the two (separately) show a regular behavior of the software, while using two is always the first to have -nan in the Output file in the field "charges", even swapping the two or using other files.

I am using charges from CIF file.

Is there any way to avoid it and to run the simulation with two frameworks at the same time?

Thank you in advance for your help,
Best regards,
Thomas

Note sure,  but could be that the crash damage the restart-file. This could happen when the crash happens at the exact time the binary-restart-file is written to disk.
