`PRMContainer`([atoms, bonds, angles, ...])	A class for managing prm files.
`PRMContainer.read`(file[, bytes_decoding])	Construct a new instance from this object's class by reading the content of file.
`PRMContainer.write`([file, bytes_encoding])	Write the content of this instance to file.
`PRMContainer.overlay_mapping`(prm_name, param)	Update a set of parameters, prm_name, with those provided in param_df.

API

class FOX.PRMContainer(atoms=None, bonds=None, angles=None, dihedrals=None, impropers=None, nbfix=None, hbond=None, nonbonded_header=None, nonbonded=None, improper=None)[source]

A class for managing prm files.

Examples

>>> from FOX import PRMContainer

>>> input_file = str(...)
>>> output_file = str(...)

>>> prm = PRMContainer.read(input_file)
>>> prm.write(output_file)

impropers: A dataframe holding improper diehdral-related parameters.

atoms: A dataframe holding atomic parameters.

bonds: A dataframe holding bond-related parameters.

angles: A dataframe holding angle-related parameters.

dihedrals: A dataframe holding proper dihedral-related parameters.

nonbonded: A dataframe holding non-bonded atomic parameters.

nbfix: A dataframe holding non-bonded pair-wise atomic parameters.

classmethod PRMContainer.read(file, bytes_decoding=None, **kwargs)

Construct a new instance from this object’s class by reading the content of file.

Parameters

file (str, bytes, os.PathLike or IO) – A path- or file-like object.
bytes_decoding (str, optional) – The type of encoding to use when reading from file when it will be/is be opened in bytes mode. This value should be left empty otherwise.
**kwargs (Any) – Further keyword arguments for open(). Only relevant if file is a path-like object.

Returns

A new instance constructed from file.

Return type

nanoutils.AbstractFileContainer

PRMContainer.write(file=<_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stdout>' mode='w' encoding='utf-8'>, bytes_encoding=None, **kwargs)

Write the content of this instance to file.

Parameters

file (str, bytes, os.PathLike or IO) –
A path- or file-like object. Defaults to sys.stdout if not specified.
bytes_encoding (str, optional) – The type of encoding to use when writing to file when it will be/is be opened in bytes mode. This value should be left empty otherwise.
**kwargs (Any) – Further keyword arguments for open(). Only relevant if file is a path-like object.

Return type

None

PRMContainer.overlay_mapping(prm_name, param, units=None)[source]

Update a set of parameters, prm_name, with those provided in param_df.

Examples

>>> from FOX import PRMContainer

>>> prm = PRMContainer(...)

>>> param_dict = {}
>>> param_dict['epsilon'] = {'Cd Cd': ..., 'Cd Se': ..., 'Se Se': ...}  # epsilon
>>> param_dict['sigma'] = {'Cd Cd': ..., 'Cd Se': ..., 'Se Se': ...}  # sigma

>>> units = ('kcal/mol', 'angstrom')  # input units for epsilon and sigma

>>> prm.overlay_mapping('nonbonded', param_dict, units=units)

Parameters

prm_name (str) – The name of the parameter of interest. See the keys of PRMContainer.CP2K_TO_PRM for accepted values.
param (pandas.DataFrame or nested Mapping) – A DataFrame or nested mapping with the to-be added parameters. The keys should be a subset of PRMContainer.CP2K_TO_PRM[prm_name]["columns"]. If the index/nested sub-keys consist of strings then they’ll be split and turned into a pandas.MultiIndex. Note that the resulting values are not sorted.
units (Iterable[str], optional) – An iterable with the input units of each column in param_df. If None, default to the defaults specified in PRMContainer.CP2K_TO_PRM[prm_name]["unit"].

PRMContainer.overlay_cp2k_settings(cp2k_settings)[source]

Extract forcefield information from PLAMS-style CP2K settings.

Performs an inplace update of this instance.

Examples

Example input value for cp2k_settings. In the provided example the cp2k_settings are directly extracted from a CP2K .inp file.

>>> import cp2kparser  # https://github.com/nlesc-nano/CP2K-Parser

>>> filename = str(...)

>>> cp2k_settings: dict = cp2kparser.read_input(filename)
>>> print(cp2k_settings)
{'force_eval': {'mm': {'forcefield': {'nonbonded': {'lennard-jones': [...]}}}}}

Parameters: cp2k_settings (Mapping) – A Mapping with PLAMS-style CP2K settings.
