Scripts, Tutorials and Applications / ModuleNotFoundError for analysis modules (e.g., Analyser, ATK) in version X-2025
« Last post by cileten on September 10, 2025, 09:16 »Hello,
I am using QuantumATK version X-2025.06 on Linux. I am trying to run a post-processing analysis script in the Editor to calculate the NematicOrderParameter and OrientationFunction for my molecular dynamics simulation results.
However, I am consistently running into a ModuleNotFoundError. I have tried several different import statements based on documentation for various versions, but none seem to work.
The following import attempts have all failed:
from ATK.ForceField import ... (fails with No module named 'ATK')
from ATK.Analyser import ... (fails with No module named 'ATK')
from quantumatk.analysers... import ... (fails with No module named 'quantumatk')
from Analyser import ... (fails with No module named 'Analyser')
This suggests a fundamental issue with how the atkpython environment is finding its own modules in this version.
I have run a diagnostic script to check sys.path, and the output is included in the log file attached below. It seems the main libraries are located in a QATK.zip file, but I cannot find the correct syntax to import from it.
Could you please advise on the correct import syntax for NematicOrderParameter and OrientationFunction for version X-2025.06?
Below is my full analysis script and the latest error log. Thank you for your help.
