<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for the quick response, Antanas. It’s very good to know that the server is working.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let me give some context also on this. I work for the team that develops the atomic-scale modeling tool QuantumATK for DFT and other simulations. The company was QuantumWise earlier, before being acquired in 2017 by Synopsys.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have for several years provided an interface to COD in our GUI, which allows users to build relatively advanced queries with a few clicks, and then retrieve and directly use structures from COD in their simulations. An example is shown
in one of our tutorials: <a href="https://docs.quantumatk.com/tutorials/li_ion_diffusion/li_ion_diffusion.html#import-lifepo4-bulk-structure">
https://docs.quantumatk.com/tutorials/li_ion_diffusion/li_ion_diffusion.html#import-lifepo4-bulk-structure</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If relevant and interesting to COD, we could perhaps consider making this a more formal partnership, although I have to consult other people on my side in terms of co-marketing or PR announcements.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let me also point out that QuantumATK is essentially free for academic use in Europe, as it is provided via EuroPractice (<a href="https://www.europractice.stfc.ac.uk/tools/synopsys_details.html#QATK">https://www.europractice.stfc.ac.uk/tools/synopsys_details.html#QATK</a>)
for a cost of only ~€100 per year for a practically unlimited license. We would be delighted if you would consider promoting QuantumATK to your friends and colleagues – our DFT-LCAO code is particularly useful for large-scale simulations of 1000+ atoms, even
with HSE, and recently we have taken big steps towards automating fitting of machine-learned MTP forcefields!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, now I just have to figure out if there are some special firewall rules that need to be set for it to work from at least our own internal network.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With thanks, and with hopes for a continued mutually beneficial relationship,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anders<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
