VASP Input

catgo_vasp_generate

  • Calculation types: opt, scf, freq, bader, dos, ddec, elf
  • Key params: encut (default 450 eV), gga ("PE"=PBE), ispin (2=spin-polarized), ivdw (12=D3-BJ), kspacing, fixed_indices/fixed_z_below

Common patterns:

  • Bulk optimization: calculation_type="opt", isif=3 (relax cell+ions)
  • Slab optimization: calculation_type="opt", isif=2, fixed_z_below=Z
  • DOS: calculation_type="dos", dense k-mesh

Call catgo_vasp_calc_types to list all available types with defaults.

Quantum ESPRESSO Input

catgo_qe_generate

  • Calculation types: scf, relax, vc-relax, nscf, bands
  • Key params: ecutwfc (default 60 Ry), ecutrho (default 480 Ry), kspacing, occupations, smearing ("mv"=Marzari-Vanderbilt), nspin

Call catgo_qe_templates for recommended settings per calculation type.

LAMMPS Input

catgo_lammps_generate

  • Simulation types: minimize, nve, nvt, npt
  • Key params: pair_style, pair_coeff, potential_file, temperature, pressure

catgo_lammps_sequential — Multi-stage MD protocol:

{"stages": [
  {"name": "minimize", "simulation_type": "minimize"},
  {"name": "heat", "simulation_type": "nvt", "temperature": 300, "run_steps": 10000},
  {"name": "equilibrate", "simulation_type": "npt", "temperature": 300, "run_steps": 50000},
  {"name": "production", "simulation_type": "nvt", "temperature": 300, "run_steps": 100000}
]}

Call catgo_lammps_pair_styles for available force fields. Call catgo_lammps_validate before generating to check configuration.

ML Potential Optimization

catgo_optimize

Quick relaxation using ML interatomic potentials:

  • mace: Best accuracy for most systems
  • chgnet: Good for oxides
  • m3gnet: General purpose
  • emt: Fast, metals only (testing)

Params: fmax (default 0.05 eV/A), max_steps (200), relax_cell (True to relax lattice)

catgo_energy — Single-point energy + forces without optimization.

Workflow Recipes

ML Pre-Optimization then DFT

  1. catgo_optimize(calculator="mace", fmax=0.05) → 2. catgo_vasp_generate(calculation_type="opt")

VASP Slab Calculation

  1. Build slab → 2. catgo_vasp_generate(calculation_type="opt", isif=2, fixed_z_below=Z, encut=520)

One-shot recipes for adding, deleting, moving, and replacing individual atoms in the active CatGo viewer structure. Use whenever the user asks to "add an atom", "delete atoms", "remove this atom", "move atom N", "replace H with Li", or any single-atom edit — including "add a hydrogen on top of atom 12" / "delete atoms 5–9" / "swap the oxygen at site 3 for fluorine". Skips the discovery loop (no need to list structure tools or check adsorption sites first); goes straight to the matching `catgo_structure` action. Triggers in Chinese on 加原子, 删原子, 减原子, 移动原子, 替换原子, 增加氢, 删除氧, 把 ... 换成 ....
