Abstract

Deformcell is a python script designed to simplify and fasten routine procedure of preparing crystal structure files for calculating various mechanical properties in VASP program. The software allows users to prepare POSCAR files for calculations of different mechanical properties performing energy calculations of deformed crystallographic unit cells. It has been specially designed to allow users to automate unit cell deformation prior to energy calculations, making it useful both for scientific research and teaching computational chemistry applied to chemical materials sciences.
