MechAfmToPyVafm Class Reference

Detailed Description

This circuit takes as an input a set of force files produced by the MechAFM then converts them to a PyVAFM compatible force field This requires a fodler to be in the same location as your input script that contains all the force field files from the MechAFM

This circuit extracts the step size and number of points from the force files and stores them in the MaxInd and Step variable within the class

If the file already exists in the folder then the conversion is skipped and only the step and number of points are extracted. To override this behaviour use the overide = True command

• Initialisation parameters:.
  • foldername = Name of the folder that contains all the MechAFM force files.
  • filename = Filename of the converted file

overide = Overide the safey function to ensure we dont overwrite a file

• pushed True|False

Example:

FFdata = machine.AddCircuit(type='MechAfmToPyVafm',name='MtoP',foldername = "Cl_tip" ) 
inter = machine.AddCircuit(type='i3Dlin',name='inter', components=3, pushed=True) 
inter.Configure(steps=FFdata.step, npoints=FFdata.MaxInd)
inter.Configure(pbc=[True,True,False])
inter.ReadData(FFdata.filename)
