R.I.N.G.S. Rigorous Investigation of Networks Generated using Simulations

The R.I.N.G.S. code development team is proud to announce the release of version 1.1 of the R.I.N.G.S. code !

Several new features and many improvements now make the R.I.N.G.S. code more reliable and efficient:

• New distribution functions are available: total G(r) and partials G_αβ(r)
• X-rays structure factors are now computed
• Several distribution functions are now computed both for the simulation of neutrons and X-rays diffraction: T(r), D(r), g(r), G(r)
• The distributions of dihedral angles are now computed
• The average proportion of the diffrent chemical species in the rings can be evaluated during ring statistics
• General improvement of the R.I.N.G.S. code
• Correction of several bugs

The Rigorous Invesitgation of Networks Generated using Simulations code is a tool box you can use to analyze the resutls of your simulations.

The R.I.N.G.S. code is written in Fortran90 and is about 27000 lines of instructions long (with 200 subroutines and 2 modules).
The memory allocation and deallocation processes are mostly dynamical.
Furthermore the code is fully parallelized using the Message Passing Interface, 'MPI' with a fully unblocking scheme.

Using the R.I.N.G.S. code you can compute:

• Radial distribution functions
• Simulated neutron and X-rays structure factors
• Mean Square Displacement
• Angles distribution
• Bond properties
• Structural environments distribution
• Voids distribution
• Very detailed ring statistics analysis
• Various inputs files for 3D visualization using OpenDX
