Scripting¶
- Scripting
Command-line tools and Python stack.
- PLAMS
PLAMS (Python Library for Automating Molecular Simulation) is a collection of tools that aim at providing powerful, flexible and easily extendable Python interface to molecular modeling programs.
- pyZacros
pyZacros is a Python interface to Zacros to simulate reactions on catalytic surfaces using kinetic Monte Carlo.
- reactmap
reactmap is a python tool that maps atoms from reactants to products so as to minimize the number of required bond cleavages and formations.
