The Swiss-army knife of atomic simulations
Access from your mobile:
Atomsk is a free, Open Source command-line program dedicated to the creation, manipulation, and conversion of data files for atomic-scale simulations in the field of computational materials sciences. It supports the file formats used by many programs, including:
Atomsk can generate common lattice types such as fcc, bcc, hcp, and perform elementary transformations: duplicate, rotate, deform, insert dislocations, merge several systems, create twins, bicrystals and polycrystals, and so on. These elementary tools can be combined to construct and shape a wide variety of atomic systems. To learn more, you are invited to read the documentation, and to follow the tutorials.
