The usage of block_file

[rshukre]

Thank you for the response Dr. Dubbeldam. You are right, with blocking,  the He void fraction is 0.43, as opposed to 0.49 without blocking. The way I obtained this was installing the latest version of RASPA (2.0.45), as opposed to the earlier version that I was using (RASPA 2.0). In RASPA 2.0, there is no difference in He void fraction computed with and without blocking as can be seen below from the output files.  RASPA 2.0 does not read the block file, as opposed to RASPA 2.0.45.

RASPA 2.0 :
Number of pockets blocked in a unitcell: 0
   Pockets are blocked for this component
   Block-pockets Filename: FAU.block

RASPA 2.0.45 :

Number of pockets blocked in a unitcell: 56
   Pockets are blocked for this component
