AIMS-Factory

AIMS-Factory is a collection of automated workflows designed to streamline Ab Initio Multiple Spawning (AIMS) simulations and their post-processing extensions.
These workflows provide tools for trajectory continuation, analysis, and optimization within a reproducible, modular framework.

    WELCOME TO AIMS-FACTORY


Available Workflows

AIMD (Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics)

Extends nuclear motion beyond AIMS spawning events to explore post-spawn dynamics and relaxation pathways.

OPT (Geometry Optimization)

Performs local geometry optimizations starting from AIMD endpoints, identifying potential photoproducts and minima.


Additional Tools

  • Restart Management: Automated creation and submission of restart directories (r1/, r2/, …).
  • Monitoring Utilities: Real-time progress tracking and error detection for both AIMD and OPT runs.
  • Workflow Summaries: Aggregated reporting on completed, running, and errored jobs.

Developed and maintained by the Pieri Lab at UNC-Chapel Hill.
