Changelog¶
Bug-fixes and improvements to the Amsterdam Modeling Suite 2025.1, with the latest changes listed first. The revision number corresponds to that of the bug-fixed binaries.
- r250520:
Engine QE: Fix the inappropriate filtering out of acoustic modes for very symmetric systems in IR & Raman spectra calculations.
- r250516:
Conformers: Fixed bug in filter logging.
Engine QE: Automatic adjustments in the parallelization scheme (
-pd .true.
) when the number of processors exceeds the FFT grid dimensions for normal modes and phonon calculations.
- r250513:
AMSmovie: Fix exporting movies (via ffmpeg which needs to be installed and in the path by the user).
ParAMS gui: fix can’t read “panels”: no such variable error.
- r250508:
AMSinput: search now also finds stuff in repeated keys and repeated blocks (like thermostats and so on).
AMSinput: support DFTB KSpace analytical option.
- r250506:
Engine QE: Print detailed information about nD (n<3) to 3D systems conversion.
Engine QE: Normal modes are now available for metals, but without calculating intensities.
Engine QE: Fix Work Function calculation for nD (n<3) systems.
- r250502:
AMS Driver: Place upper limit on number of neighborlist cells in non-periodic system
AMS Driver: Place (user adjustable) upper limit on temperature during MD
- r250501:
PLAMS: fix loading jobs from
.dill
files generated by previous versions
- r250430:
GUI: fix storing the last used periodic display setting in the preferences.
ADF,BAND: fix initializing variable for CBS extrapolated limit GW quasi particle energies.
- r250429:
ParAMS: with the GUI on windows, fix opening jobs that contain backslashes in contained paths.
- r250428:
AMSspectra: fix energy length unit conversion via the menu.
r250425: AMS2025.102 released (Apr 28th, 2025)¶
- r250425:
AMSinput: make sure no ROSE or ExcitonTransfer blocks are in fragment .ams files (run scripts were correct).
AMSjobs: change some queue templates to use . (dot) instead of source in the prolog field.
AMSjobs: fix misleading info in GUI documentation about the prolog field in AMSjobs queue setup.
- r250424:
AMS Driver: Use 2x2x2 supercell as default for numerical phonons (same default as in the GUI).
ADF: fix double parallelization issues, may make ADF slow on GPFS scratch systems.
AMSinput: fix “Show docstring” and “Use defaults” buttons on the ASE panel
- r250422:
AMSinput: make code for panels with input items more robust (avoiding bad window path name “-x” error).
- r250422:
AMSinput: improve search for menu items and disabled items.
- r250417:
AMSinput: make sure importing crystals updates the name of the proper molecule if multiple molecules are present.
AMSinput: graphic improvement of bar showing multiple molecule names.
AMSspectra: more info for ROKS-TDA excitations (instead of just Unrestricted).
AMSinput: improve search for options in panels, restrict search to current (sub)engine.
AMSinput: mark found search items on panels with different color.
AMSinput: jump to found search item. Use down/up arrow keys to go to next / prev found items.
Engine ASE: allow option to set conda executable with
SCM_CONDA_PATH
. This way conda does not need to be onPATH
.
- r250415:
AMSinput: Energy Landscape display glitches fixed.
AMSinput: TuneGeometry: allow use of undo/redo.
AMSinput: better default molecule name for crystals imported via Search.
AMSinput: close element chooser automatically after use within the crystal builder (fixing error: bad window path name “.dialog_window”).
ADF,BAND: RPA sigma-functional based on PBE, PBE0, or B3LYP orbitals with LibXC.
- r250414:
AMSinput: fix exciton transfer integrals with ROSE and FOCDFT.
ADF: remove unuseful ExcitonTransfer%UseRose subkey.
Engine ASE: print warnings from ASE calculators into standard output, not standard error.
- r250411:
BAND,DFTB: failed to generate band structure for oblique 2D systems.
GUI SCM menu: fix opening Movies from ParAMS results (fixing error: can’t read “ident”: no such variable).
- r250410:
AMSinput: support BAND KSpace analytical option.
- r250409:
AMSspectra: avoid crash when switching spectra while showing displacement vectors.
KFBrowser: fix scanning kf files with quotes in section or variable names.
AMSinput: do not set charges for band/dftb negf leads.
AMSinput: fix TPSS-D4(EEQ) run script.
