catmap.model module

class catmap.model.ReactionModel(**kwargs)[source]

The central object that defines a microkinetic model consisting of:

  • active sites
  • species
  • possible reaction steps
  • rate constant expressions
  • descriptors and descriptor ranges
  • data files for energies
  • external parameters (temperature, pressures)
  • other more technical settings related to the solver and mapper
__init__(**kwargs)[source]

Class for managing microkinetic models.

Parameters:setup_file (str) – Specify <mkm-file> from which to load model.
__module__ = 'catmap.model'
_header(exclude_outputs=[], re_parse=False)[source]

Create a string which acts as a header for the log file. The header string ensures that the logfile can be opened interactively by Python by importing necessary libraries and automatically reading in the data_file.

Parameters:
  • exclude_outputs ([str]) – Attribute names of ReactionModel to exclude in the log file. Optional parameter, default is [].
  • re_parse (bool) – Determines whether or not the parser should be specified in the log file. If a parser is included in the log file then a ReactionModel instantiated using that log file as a setup_file argument will attempt to re-parse values from the input_file and setup_file. Optional parameter, default is False.
_token()[source]

Create a ‘token’ which uniquely identifies the model based on the user-input parameters. Two models with identical tokens should have identical solutions, although this is not guaranteed if an expert user changes some private attributes.

adsorption_to_reaction_energies(free_energy_dict)[source]

Parameters:free_energy_dict (dict) – Dictionary containing free energies for each species in the reaction network.

  • descriptor_ranges ([[float]]) – Minimum and maximum values of descriptor range for each dimension included in array.
  • resolution (int) – Resolution at which the descriptor ranges are sampled.

  • energy_dict (dict) – Dictionary of energies for all species. Keys should be species names and values should be energies.
load(setup_file)[source]

Load a ‘setup file’ by importing it and assigning all local variables as attributes of the kinetic model. Special attributes mapper, parser, scaler, solver will attempt to convert strings to modules.

load_data_file(overwrite=False)[source]

Load in output data from external files.

log(event, **kwargs)[source]

Add an event to the log file. This assumes that the template for the event has been specified in the _log_strings attribute of the class that calls the log() function.

Parameters:
  • event (str) –

    A key that defines the event to be logged. The _log_strings attribute of the subclass which calls log() should be a dictionary where event is a key and the value is a template string. The template string can contain the following variables which will auto-populate:

    • pt - the current point in descriptor space
    • priority - defaults to 0

    In addition, the template may contain other variables which can be passed in as keyword arguments. The following are special arguments:

    *n_iter - the iteration number will be appended to the event title

    The event title should be of the form routinename_status, where routinename is the name of the routine/algorithm and the status is succeess/failure/evaluation/etc.
