Build status Test coverage Documentation Status Docker Image

Repository

simphony-lammps is hosted on github: https://github.com/simphony/simphony-lammps

Requirements

Optional requirements

To support the documentation built you need the following packages:

  • sphinx >= 1.2.3
  • sphinxcontrib-napoleon >= 0.2.10

Installation

The package requires python 2.7.x. Installation is based on setuptools:

# build and install
python setup.py install

or:

# build for in-place development
python setup.py develop

LAMMPS installation

This engine-wrapper uses LAMMPS Molecular Dynamics Simulator. A recent stable version (11 Aug 2017) of LAMMPS is supported and has been tested. See install_lammps.sh for an example installation instructions. For general LAMMPS install information, see http://lammps.sandia.gov/index.html

LAMMPS installation varies depending on which interface is being used. See the manual for more details. SimPhoNy-lammps in file-mode will look for LAMMPS binary named lammps. You can change this by setting the SIM_LAMMPS_BIN environment variable.

Usage

After installation, the user should be able to import the lammps engine plugin module by:

from simphony.engine import lammps
  engine = lammps.LammpsWrapper()

python -m unittest discover
