Rename output files to let their names more user-friendly

Open kirk0830 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Background

Present files output:

running_*.scf // log of job
OLD1_SPIN_CHG.cube // not very clear
NOW_SPIN_CHG.cube // seems the spin distribution of the latest state
STRU_READIN_ADJUST.cif // seems the structure read -in
STRU_SIMPLE.cif // not very clear
STRU_ION_D // not very clear about the letter "D" and why emphasize "ion"

Describe the solution you'd like

Quantum ESPRESSO outputs structure in stdout, CP2K outputs structure in appending way to *-pos-1.xyz.

I think structure and properties (with atom information like constraints, mulliken charge and magnetic moments projected to each atom) should all be print-out or have a copy in running*.log, which is much easier for third software to interface with abacus. Now, ASE cannot read any constraints, charge and magnetic moments from ABACUS output results.

It is best not to modify the name of some commonly used file, like: running_scf.log and STRU_ION_D. Most of the post process soft will use them.
