[CP2K-user] [CP2K:15170] Possible python interface and passing forces to cp2k

[hut... at chem.uzh.ch]

Hi

it seems to me what you are looking for is i-Pi (or ASE).

regards

Thank you so much, everyone, for your responses!
After looking at cp2k/src/f77_interface.F and cp2k/src/start/python, it seems like there are functions for returning forces acting on each atoms, e.g., get_force(). 
Are there functions that can be called via python where one could add external forces to cp2k at time t, and then have cp2k to output the new position, velocity, and forces at time t + delta t? 

Any insight on this is greatly appreciated.

Best,

Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth, 
 
there are are also the libcp2k-based Python bindings you can build with  
(required are numpy and cython): 
 
     make python-bindings 
 
An example Python script to use them (and to get positions and forces  
from a force_env), some tests and a README are in src/start/python/. 
 
For running with MPI you will also need mpi4py. 
 
Best regards, 
Tiziano
