ASE
The Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) is a set of tools and Python
modules for setting up, manipulating, running, visualizing and
analyzing atomistic simulations. The code is freely available
under the GNU LGPL license. ASE provides interfaces to different
codes through Calculators which are used together with the
central Atoms object and the many available algorithms in ASE.

Interactive mode¶
To open an ASE in the interactive mode, please follow the following steps:
# From your local computer
$ ssh -X iris-cluster
# Reserve the node for interactive computation
$ salloc -p interactive --time=00:30:00 --ntasks 1 -c 4 --x11 # OR si --x11 [...]
# Load the module ase and needed environment
$ module purge
$ module load swenv/default-env/devel # Eventually (only relevant on 2019a software environment)
$ module load chem/ASE/3.17.0-intel-2019a-Python-3.7.2
$ python3 example.py
Batch mode¶
