Hi, I am an experienced C++ and Python programmer, but new to cctbx. Can any tell me if there is an algorithm in cctbx available to convert an arbritrary point in direct space to the corresponding point in the asymmetric unit of a given space group? i can figure out how to convert it to the corresponding point in the unit cell at the origin, but from there to the asymmetric unit is unclear to me. I found the brick class which gives me the assymmetric unit from cctbx import crystal,sgtbx if __name__=='__main__': crystal_symmetry = crystal.symmetry( unit_cell=(3.5093,3.5093,3.5093,90,90,90) , space_group_symbol="229" # = "I m -3 m" ) sg = crystal_symmetry.space_group() brick = sgtbx.brick( sg.type() ) print brick I also found cctbx::sgtbx::asu and the classes therein, but they are largely undocumented. For the interested, this is the problem i want to solve: I have a (scalar) physical property P(r), depending on spatial position, presented as a 3D array on a regular grid over the unit cell (space group is known). I need to integrate P(r)*f(r), f(r) being an arbitrary function over a region of direct space, which typically comprises several unit cells. In order to reduce the memory footprint of the P array, i would like to restrict it to the space group’s asymmetric unit. All help is greatly appreciated. kindest regards, Dr [Engel]bert Tijskens HPC Analyst/Consultant Flemish Supercomputer Center vscentrum.behttp://vscentrum.be HPC core facility CalcUA uantwerp.be/calcuahttp://uantwerp.be/calcua Computational mathematics www.uantwerpen.be/en/rg/cmahttp://www.uantwerpen.be/en/rg/cma University of Antwerp Middelheimlaan1 G.309, B-2020 Antwerp, Belgium [email protected]mailto:[email protected] ++32 3 265 3879
