Description

To simplify the usage of the atomistics package in version 0.2.X, the workflows are going to implement only two functions:

  • generate_structures() which generates task to be executed with a given simulation code.
  • analyse_structures() which uses the results of the individual calculation to calculate other material properties. The analyse_structures() function requires the output parameter which can be used to specify which quantities are calculated.

All the additional functions like get_thermal_properties() or get_thermal_expansion() are going to be removed and replaced by calling analyse_structures() with the corresponding output parameters.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing workflow implementations and every caller of functions such as get_thermal_properties() and get_thermal_expansion(). Compare them with the proposed generate_structures() and analyse_structures(output) interface; done means workflows expose only those two functions and the former convenience functions are removed or replaced consistently.
