This utility was developed by ATA Engineering to use with the put files generated by Loci/CHEM. This can be useful when attempting to restart a full model from a half model. The put file from the half model can be mirrored, and the resulting file can be used to initialize the full model. Currently the utility only supports mirroring about the x=0, y=0, or z=0 planes.
Alternatively, the put file can be revolved about an axis, for initializing a quarter/half/full model from an axisymmetric model. The utility currently supports revolving about the x, y, or z axis only.
This python utility requires the h5py, argparse, and numpy libraries.
Detailed usage can be found by passing the script the -h or --help
options. The put file to mirror and the plane to mirror about can be specified
on the command line. The -r or --revolve flag toggles revolving instead
of mirroring, and then the axis of revolution, angle to revolve, and number of
angular stations can be specified.
