Frequently Asked Questions
This page introduces "FAQs for those considering introducing Matlantis."
For FAQs for existing Matlantis users, please see here (Zendesk).
Technical & Computational
How many atoms can Matlantis handle in a single simulation?
Matlantis can typically handle systems ranging from a few thousand to several tens of thousands of atoms, depending on the computational requirements. For example, in the case of Pt (fcc), up to 44,000 atoms can be processed in a single simulation.
How does Matlantis handle van der Waals interactions?
Matlantis incorporates Grimme’s DFT-D3 dispersion corrections to accurately model van der Waals and other non-covalent interactions.
What is the cutoff distance currently used in Matlantis simulations?
Since the release of PFP v6.0.0, the maximum cutoff distance has been increased to 9 Å, but the cutoff is adjusted depending on the density of the system.
Functionality & Usage
Can Matlantis be used for resin and polymer research?
Yes. Matlantis is accurate and flexible enough to simulate monomer reactivity and polymer substructures. It also supports systems containing both organic and inorganic elements.
What simulation environments are supported in Matlantis?
Matlantis supports integration with ASE and LAMMPS*. We provide detailed tutorials and documentation to help you implement them within the Matlantis environment.
*Available as a trial version
How are interatomic potentials selected in Matlantis?
In Matlantis, simulations are configured by writing Python code in a JupyterLab environment.
