PyCAC User's Manual

Updated Feb 02 2020

PyCAC, the concurrent atomistic-continuum (CAC) simulation environment, is a software suite that allows users to run CAC simulations and analyze data.

Currently, the CAC simulator and analyzer are written in Fortran 2008, with different parts of the workflow glued by a Python scripting interface.

A pdf version of this manual can be downloaded here.

This user's manual is maintained by Shuozhi Xu, Kevin Chu, and Alex Selimov. Kevin and Alex are current Ph.D. students, while Shuozhi is a former Ph.D. student and Postdoctoral Fellow with Prof. David L. McDowell at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

The PyCAC interface is open-source and the CAC simulator code is available upon request. For access, please email Prof. David L. McDowell.
