Description

This algorithm is a loader from simulation data saved by version 3 of the nMOLDYN package, simulations can be loaded form either a plain ASCII (.dat) file or .cdl file.

Currently this supports loading \(S(Q, \omega)\) and \(F(Q, t)\) functions from .cdl files, \(F(Q, t)\) from .dat files and any 2D function (such as density of states) from .dat files.

Usage

Note

To run these usage examples please first download the usage data, and add these to your path. In Mantid this is done using Manage User Directories.

Example - Loading a simulation from a CDL file.

out_ws_group = LoadNMoldyn3Ascii(Filename='NaF_DISF.cdl',
                                 Functions=['Fqt-total', 'Sqw-total'])

for ws_name in out_ws_group.getNames():
  print(ws_name)

Output:

NaF_DISF_Fqt-total
NaF_DISF_Sqw-total
