General Questions and Answers / Re: Documentation example is not working

« on: April 25, 2025, 14:51 »

Looks like it is just a missing unit on the charge definition, try adding "*e".

Could you link to the page where you found it?

Installation and License Questions / Re: QATK2024.09 glibc version for older systems

« on: September 11, 2024, 13:47 »

Unfortunately not, the W-2024.09 release of QuantumATK does not support CentOS 7, but requires version 8.4+ of RHEL/AlmaLinux/RockyLinux. For full requirements please see this page: https://docs.quantumatk.com/intro/installation/technical_hardware.html

Synopsys' full platform roadmap can be seen here: https://www.synopsys.com/support/licensing-installation-computeplatforms/compute-platforms/compute-platforms-roadmap.html

General Questions and Answers / Re: optimize_cell flag Error

« on: October 5, 2023, 09:51 »

Looks like you are running the script with an older version than the one used to generate the script. The "optimize_cell" keyword was added in one of the more recent releases, so older releases would not recognize it.

Hi Frank, your previous inquiries had not reached our dashboard, but I could find them in the system when I knew what I was looking for. I'm sorry about that. We'll investigate why they got lost in transit.

General Questions and Answers / Re: Hamiltonian Derivatives

Note that Hamiltonian Derivatives repeats your input cell to create a supercell, so it is expected that it will take a long time, especially with tight calculator settings.

General Questions and Answers / Re: QATK unable to read files

« on: March 29, 2023, 14:59 »

I agree with the recommendation that you should create a sub-folder for each  project with a limited number of files, but with the new framework, you can go up to the limit of 100,000 files per project without significant performance degradation.

General Questions and Answers / Re: Job manager is not opening

« on: January 9, 2023, 10:42 »

Most likely the data-files are corrupt. I am not sure exactly where they are in such an old version, but they should be in $USER/.vnl/job-manager or something like that. Delete all of them except for machines.hdf5. You will lose information about running jobs, but your machine definitions will still be available. We re-designed the data-structure in T-2022.03 to avoid this problem, so I suggest upgrading to a newer version.

General Questions and Answers / Re: LDOS calculation of a spin-polarized bulk in older version

« on: December 5, 2022, 15:04 »

No, the LocalDensityofStates was not present in the O-2018.06 version. As far as I remember, it was introduced in the Q-2019.12 version, so you could try that one. We recommend upgrading to the newest version, U-2022.12 just came out today.

General Questions and Answers / Re: Why "Combinedcalculator" is not defined in ATK2020?

« on: April 27, 2022, 22:00 »

The CombinedCalculator was first introduced in the S-2021.06 release. I suggest you upgrade to the new T-2022.03 release to get the full functionality of QuantumATK.
