Title: Export CIF files using the linux command
Post by: atk_user on October 18, 2014, 10:15
Dear all,

Is it possible to export CIF files for both initial and optimized geometries after geometry optimization in the linux command line?
(I'm using ver. ATK 13.8.1)

in python, you can try
Code
bulk_configuration = ......

from NL.NanoLanguage.ConfigurationConverters.CIFConverters import configurationToCIF
data = configurationToCIF(bulk_configuration)
with open("filename.cif", 'w') as f:
    f.write(data)

although this is not officially part of NanoLanguage and it might not work in future releases.
