In Extreme Data Workshop 2018 Proceedings, 2019, vol 40, p 43-48Comments/Disclaimer:The plug-in and the workflows will only work with a Fleur version using xml files as I/O, i.e >v0.27.ContentsIntroductionInstallation InstructionsCode DependenciesFurther InformationIntroductionThis is a python package (AiiDA plugin, workflows and utility)
allowing to use the FLEUR-code in the AiiDA Framework.
The FLEUR-code is an all-electron DFT code using the FLAPW method,
that is widely applied in the material science and physics community.The plugin :The Fleur plugin consists of:1. A data-structure representing input files and called FleurinpData.
2. inpgen calculation
3. FLEUR calculation
4. Workchains

Which is very useful for all-electron codes, because instead of pseudo potentialsfamilies you can create now families of parameter nodes for the periodic table.read_cif.pyThis can be used as stand-alone to create StructureData nodes from .cif files from an directory tree.Utility and tools, which are independend of AiiDA are moved to themasci-tools(material science tools) repository,
which is a dependency of aiida-fleur.Command line interface (CLI)Besides the python API, aiida-fleur comes with a builtin CLI:aiida-fleur.
This interface is built using the click library and supports tab-completion.To enable tab-completion, add the following to your shell loading script, e.g. the .bashrc or virtual environment activate script:eval "$(_AIIDA_FLEUR_COMPLETE=source aiida-fleur)"the main subcommands include:data: Commands to create and inspect data nodes
    fleurinp   Commands to handle `FleurinpData` nodes.
    parameter  Commands to create and inspect `Dict` nodes containing FLAPW parameters
    structure  Commands to create and inspect `StructureData` nodes.
launch: Commands to launch workflows and calcjobs of aiida-fleur

    banddos          Launch a banddos workchain
    corehole         Launch a corehole workchain
    create_magnetic  Launch a create_magnetic workchain
    dmi              Launch a dmi workchain
    eos              Launch a eos workchain
    fleur            Launch a base_fleur workchain.
    init_cls         Launch an init_cls workchain
    inpgen           Launch an inpgen calcjob on given input If no    code is...
    mae              Launch a mae workchain
    relax            Launch a base relax workchain # TODO final scf    input
    scf              Launch a scf workchain
    ssdisp           Launch a ssdisp workchain

plot: Invoke the plot_fleur command on given nodes

workflow: Commands to inspect aiida-fleur workchains and prepare inputsfor example to launch an scf workchain on a given structure execute:$ aiida-fleur launch scf -i <inpgenpk> -f <fleurpk> -S <structurepk>the command can also process structures in any formatasecan handle, this includesCif,xsfandposcarfiles. In such a case simply parse the path to the file:$ aiida-fleur launch scf -i <inpgenpk> -f <fleurpk> -S ./structure/Cu.cifInstallation InstructionsFrom the aiida-fleur folder (after downloading the code, recommended) use:$ pip install .
# or which is very useful to keep track of the changes (developers)
$ pip install -e .To uninstall use:$ pip uninstall aiida-fleurOr install latest release version from pypi:$ pip install aiida-fleurTest InstallationTo test rather the installation was successful use:$verdipluginslistaiida.calculations# example output:## Pass as a further parameter one (or more) plugin names## to get more details on a given plugin....*fleur.fleur*fleur.inpgenYou should see 'fleur.*' in the listThe other entry points can be checked with the AiiDA Factories (Data, Workflow, Calculation, Parser).
(this is done in test_entry_points.py)We suggest to run all the (unit)tests in the aiida-fleur/aiida_fleur/tests/ folder.$ bash run_all_cov.shCode DependenciesRequirements are listed inpyproject.tomlmost important are:aiida_core >= 2.0lxmlasemasci-toolsMainly AiiDA:Download fromwww.aiida.net -> Downloadinstall and setup ->aiida's documentationEasy plotting and other useful routines that do not depend on aiida_core are part of
themasci-tools(material science tools) repository.For easy plotting we recommend using 'plot_methods' from masci-tools, which are also deployed by the 'plot_fleur(<node(s)>)' function.Further InformationThe plug-in source code documentation ishere.
also some documentation of the plug-in, further things can be found atwww.flapw.de.
