RMG-Py v2.2.0
-
New features:
- New ring membership attribute added to atoms. Can be specified in group adjacency lists in order to enforce ring membership of atoms during subgraph matching.
- Reactors now support specification of T, P, X ranges. Different conditions are sampled on each iteration to optimally capture the full parameter space.
- New termination type! Termination rate ratio stops the simulation when the characteristic rate falls to the specified fraction of the maximum characteristic rate. Currently not recommended for systems with two-stage ignition.
- New resonance transitions implemented for species with lone pairs (particularly N and S containing species). A filtration algorithm was also added to select only the most representative structures.
- Formal support for trimolecular reaction families.
- New isotopes module allows post-processing of RMG mechanisms to generate a mechanism with isotopic labeling.
-
Changes:
- Library reactions can now be integrated into RMG pdep networks if the new elementary_high_p attribute is True
- Library reactions may be duplicated by pdep reactions if the new allow_pdep_route attribute is True
- Jupyter notebook for adding new training reactions has been revamped and is now located at ipython/kinetics_library_to_training.ipynb
- Syntax for recommended families has changed to set notation instead of dictionaries, old style still compatible
- Ranking system for database entries expanded to new 0-11 system from the old 0-5 system
- Collision limit checking has been added for database entries
-
Cantherm:
- Improved support for MolPro output files
- Added iodine support
- Automatically read spin multiplicity from quantum output
- Automatically assign frequency scale factor for supported model chemistries
- Plot calculated rates and thermo by default
- New sensitivity analysis feature analyzes sensitivity of reaction rates to isomer/TS energies in pdep networks
-
Fixes:
- Properly update charges when creating product templates in reaction families
- Excessive duplicate reactions from different resonance structures has been fixed (bug introduced in 2.1.3)
- Fixed rate calculation for MultiPdepArrhenius objects when member rates have different plists
-
A more formal deprecation process is now being trialed. Deprecation warnings have been added to functions to be removed in version 2.3.0:
- All methods related to saving or reading RMG-Java databases and old-style adjacency lists
- The group additivity method for kinetics estimation (unrelated to thermo group additivity)
- The saveRestartPeriod option and the old method of saving restart files
