[1] Ferrari, Brian. "AutoGAMESS: A Python package for automation of GAMESS (US) Raman calculations." Journal of Open Source Software 4.41 (2019): 1612.

This is a python module for automating the generation of input files and parsing of log files with end goal of generating Raman data using the GAMESS(us) Quantum Chemistry software.

This package was developed using GAMESS VERSION = 20 APR 2017 (R1), it has also been partially tested for use with GAMESS VERSION = 1 MAY 2013 (R1) and GAMESS VERSION = 14 FEB 2018 (R1).

AutoGAMESS is also able to generate line plots of vibrational frequency vs. IR/Raman intensities. Generated plots will be titled with the molecule name in the file and the theory/basis set used for the calculation. Each symmetry group will be plotted in a different color, from either a default or user specified color list. The spectral line (sum of line broadening) will also be plotted in red with 50% transparency. An example is shown bellow using Lorentzian line broadening method with the default sigma option.

generate_scaling_factors

generate_scaling_factors(projdir, expt_dict, species, method='scott')

This function generates scaling factors and scaled frequencies.

Parameters
----------
projdir: string
    This should be a full directory string pointing to the project
    directory initlly created by new_project.
expt_dict: dictionary
    This should be a python dictionary with the experimental frequency
    values for all species that the user wants to generate scaling factors
    for in it. Format is explained in Notes section.
species: list
    This should be a list of all species the user would like scaling factors
    generated for. Any molecule in the list must have experimental data in
    the `expt_dict` associated with it.
method: string [Optional]
    This should be string giving the method for scaling factor calculation,
    options are `scott`(defualt).

Notes
-------
`expt_dict` format should be as follows:

        {`specie`: [`nu_1`, `nu_2`, ... , `nu_N`]}

 where `specie` must be written the same way as the Excel spreadsheet file
 for that molecule is written. Each frequency, `nu`, should be given in
 the same order as they appear (left to right) in the spreadsheet.

 `species` list format can be in any order but must adhere to the rule
 that any element in `species` is a key for `expt_dict`

 Once execution of this function is completed the `Hessian` worksheet
 will be updated to have a coulmn giving `Scaling Factor/RMS`, as well
 as the scaled frequencies will appear in parathesis next to the predicted
 frequencies.

Returns
-------
This function returns nothing.

Example
-------
>>> import autogamess as ag
>>>
>>> projdir   = './Your Project Title/'
>>> expt_dict = {'H2O': [1595, 3657, 3756]}
>>> species   = ['H2O']
>>>
>>> ag.generate_scaling_factors(projdir, expt_dict, species)
>>>

Input Descriptions

All user functions contain doc strings with examples and explanations of parameters and returns. However, a few functions require specific inputs not fully explained in the doc strings. Such as the functions:

  • new_project
  • input_builder

The CSV file required by both functions must have the following format. The first line must be the header, written exactly as follows.

Species
Theory
Composite Methods
Basis Sets
External Basis Sets
Run Types
      

All lines after the header should give input as 1 item per column per line. As shown in the example bellow.

Species
Theory
Composite Methods
Basis Sets
External Basis Sets
Run Types
H2OB3LYPG32CCSDCCDmay-cc-pVQZOptimization
NH3MP2G4MP2CCTaug-cc-pV7ZHessian
HCNCCSD-TG4MP2-6XCCQmay-cc-pVTZRaman
H2COPBECCCA-S4CC5Sadlej-pVTZVSCF
CH4wB97X-DCCCA-CCLCC6jun-cc-pVQZ 
C2H6SCS-MP2 ACCDjul-cc-pVTZ 
C2H4CCSD2-T ACCT  
C2H2  ACCQ  

AutoGAMESS assumes the user will be performing every possible combination of Theory and Basis Sets(internal and external) for every calculation type, across all species. Therefore repetition within columns will cause an error. If a user wishes to perform Optimization, Hessian and Raman calculations on water(H2O) using only B3LYP CCD the following should be in the CSV.

Species
Theory
Composite Methods
Basis Sets
External Basis Sets
Run Types
H2OB3LYP CCD Optimization
     Hessian
     Raman

For any given CSV file the total generated input files by input_builder will be n*m*i where n is the number of Species given, m is the number of Theory given, and i is the number of Basis Sets given.

Internal basis sets should be written in the same format as they are required by GAMESS(us) inputs.

External basis sets should be written in the same format as they as required by ESML basis_set_exchange. Some external basis sets have shorthand names built into AutoGAMESS to prevent special characters such as (, ), +, etc. from being put into file names. Notice this is applicable to may-cc-pV(D+d)Z written simply as may-cc-pVDZ similarly for the other calendar basis sets.

initial_coords_dict is another input parameter that requires specific formatting. The dictionary is meant to give the initial guess coordinates for a particular symmetry of a molecule. This should be a python dictionary that has the Species (molecule) name as the key and a list with the following format.

key = 'H2O'

value = ['CnV 2,\n','\n',
         ' O           8.0  -0.0000000000   0.0000000000  -0.0123155409\n',
         ' H           1.0  -0.0000000000  -0.7568005555   0.5926935705\n']

initial_coords_dict = {key : value}

Note that the atoms given in the list are the symmetry unique atoms for the point group symmetry given in the first element of the list. Point group symmtery should be given in GAMESS(us) format, with the second element of the list being \n for cases where GAMESS(us) requires a blank card after the symmetry group. For symmetry groups that cannot have a blank card after in GAMESS(us) the second element should be the first symmetry unique atom. Finally, make sure all elements of the list end with \n to ensure they are written in separates lines.

Some molecules are already compiled within AutoGAMESS default dictionary however, if one of the molecules in the input CSV file is not within the default dictionary a complete dictionary with all molecules within the CSV file is required by AutoGAMESS.

Examples of Common AutoGAMESS Utilization Methods

Compile Existing Data

A basic script for generating a new project directory, sorting already existing logs into it, then filling the spreadsheets with the data in the existing output files. For this script to work properly, file names must adhere to the AutoGAMESS file naming convention

[arbitrary thing]_[Specie]_[Theory Level]_[Basis Set]_[Abbreviated Run Type].[inp/log/dat]

An example is “AG-test_H2O_B3LYP_CCD_opt.log”, where the Arbitrary Thing is AG-test, Specie is H2O, Theory Level is B3LYP, Basis Set is CCD and the Abbreviated Run Type is opt.

The ‘arbitrary thing’ section can be anything, since this is typically where AutoGAMESS will write the version number. Since AutoGAMESS reads information from file names and requires the underscore separates the information something must be present there to prevent confusion. If the file name format is incorrect the fill_spreadsheets function will be unable to map the data to the correct cell in the spreadsheet. However, the get_data function only requires the abbreviated run type be written with underscore before and file extensive following it (ie: ..._opt.log). The Abbreviated Run Types are,

Optimization = opt

Hessian = hes

Raman = raman

VSCF = vscf

import autogamess as ag

maindir = './'
csvfile = './input.csv'
title   = 'Project Title/'

ag.new_project(maindir, csvfile, title=title)

projdir = maindir + title
logsdir = './Logs/'

ag.sort_logs(projdir, logsdir)

ag.fill_spreadsheets(projdir)

Converting Input Files

A basic script for converting all files within a directory into their next calculation type. Also separates the files that GAMESS(us) calculation did not terminate successfully.

import os
import autogamess as ag

idir = './inps/'
ldir = './logs-dats/'
done = './done/'
fail = './failed/'
iext = '.inp'
lext = '.log'
dext = '.dat'

for file in os.listdir(ldir):
    if lext not in file:
        continue

    if '_opt' in file:     
        inp = idir + file.replace(lext, iext)
        dat = ldir + file.replace(lext, dext)
        log = ldir + file
        try:
            ag.opt2hes(inp, log)
        except:
            os.rename(inp, inp.replace(idir, fail))
            os.rename(log, log.replace(ldir, fail))
            os.rename(dat, dat.replace(ldir, fail))
            continue
        os.rename(inp, inp.replace(idir, done))
        os.rename(log, log.replace(ldir, done))
        os.rename(dat, dat.replace(ldir, done))

    if '_hes' in file:
        inp = idir + file.replace(lext, iext)
        dat = ldir + file.replace(lext, dext)
        log = ldir + file
        try:
            ag.hes2raman(inp, dat)
        except:
            os.rename(inp, inp.replace(idir, fail))
            os.rename(log, log.replace(ldir, fail))
            os.rename(dat, dat.replace(ldir, fail))
            continue
        os.rename(inp, inp.replace(idir, done))
        os.rename(log, log.replace(ldir, done))
        os.rename(dat, dat.replace(ldir, done))

Data Parsing Log Files

A less common method of utilizing AutoGAMESS is to parse any single output file for data. The get_data function which is typically meant to be an internally used function can be called by the user. This will retrieve the data from the file, it will read the file name to get the run type.

import autogamess as ag

file = 'AG-test_H2O_B3LYP_CCD_opt.log'

data = ag.get_data(file)

lengths = data.bond_lengths
angles  = data.bond_angles

Generating Scaling Factors

To generate scaling factors for all Hessian calculations that have been compiled by fill_spreadsheets you just need to call generate_scaling_factors. Here is an example considering the molecule in question is H2O.

import autogamess as ag

projdir   = './Your Project Title/'
expt_dict = {'H2O': [1595, 3657, 3756]}
species   = ['H2O']

ag.generate_scaling_factors(projdir, expt_dict, species)

Making Plots

Make plots with AutoGAMESS is quite simple, here are some examples (these examples are also found in the make_plot doc string).

This first example is to for having a plot displayed on screen without saving it.

import autogamess as ag

file = 'AG-test_H2O_B3LYP_CCD_opt.log'

ag.make_plot(file)

The next example shows how to make and save a plot to the current working directory.

import autogamess as ag

file    = './AGv0-0-6_NH3_CCSD-T_CC6_hes.log'
savedir = './'

ag.make_plot(file, savedir)

The next example shows you how to pick your own colors for each symmetry group that is plotted.

import autogamess as ag

file    = './AGv0-0-6_NH3_CCSD-T_CC6_hes.log'
savedir = './'
cmap    = ['b', 'r', 'k', 'c']

ag.make_plot(file, savedir, cmap=cmap)

The next example shows how to use line broadening in your plot, in particular this uses the Lorentzian method and a Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) of 450 wavenumbers.

import autogamess as ag

file    = './AGv0-0-6_NH3_CCSD-T_CC6_hes.log'
savedir = './'
cmap    = ['b', 'r', 'k', 'c']
method = 'Lorentzian'
sig    = 450

ag.make_plot(file, savedir, cmap=cmap, method=method, sig=sig)

The next example shows how to use flags to omit certain things from being plotted. Here we are omitting the vertical lines and the dashed liner broadening lines, leaving only the spectral line to be plotted.

import autogamess as ag

file    = './AGv0-0-6_NH3_CCSD-T_CC6_hes.log'
savedir = './'
cmap    = ['b', 'r', 'k', 'c']
method = 'Lorentzian'
sig    = 450
flag   = [1,3]

ag.make_plot(file, savedir, cmap=cmap, method=method, sig=sig)
