Data
Bases: aiida.orm.nodes.node.Node
aiida.orm.nodes.node.Node
The base class for all Data nodes.
AiiDA Data classes are subclasses of Node and must support multiple inheritance.
Architecture note: Calculation plugins are responsible for converting raw output data from simulation codes to Data nodes. Data nodes are responsible for validating their content (see _validate method).
__abstractmethods__
__copy__
Copying a Data node is not supported, use copy.deepcopy or call Data.clone().
__deepcopy__
Create a clone of the Data node by pipiong through to the clone method and return the result.
an unstored clone of this Data node
__module__
_abc_impl
_export_format_replacements
_exportcontent
Converts a Data node to one (or multiple) files.
Note: Export plugins should return utf8-encoded bytes, which can be directly dumped to file.
fileformat (str) – the extension, uniquely specifying the file format.
main_file_name (str) – (empty by default) Can be used by plugin to infer sensible names for additional files, if necessary. E.g. if the main file is ‘../myplot.gnu’, the plugin may decide to store the dat file under ‘../myplot_data.dat’.
kwargs – other parameters are passed down to the plugin
a tuple of length 2. The first element is the content of the otuput file. The second is a dictionary (possibly empty) in the format {filename: filecontent} for any additional file that should be produced.

ArrayData
Store a set of arrays on disk (rather than on the database) in an efficient way using numpy.save() (therefore, this class requires numpy to be installed).
Each array is stored within the Node folder as a different .npy file.
Before storing, no caching is done: if you perform a get_array() call, the array will be re-read from disk. If instead the ArrayData node has already been stored, the array is cached in memory after the first read, and the cached array is used thereafter. If too much RAM memory is used, you can clear the cache with the clear_internal_cache() method.
get_array()
clear_internal_cache()
_arraynames_from_files
Return a list of all arrays stored in the node, listing the files (and not relying on the properties).
_arraynames_from_properties
Return a list of all arrays stored in the node, listing the attributes starting with the correct prefix.
_cached_arrays
Check if the list of .npy files stored inside the node and the list of properties match. Just a name check, no check on the size since this would require to reload all arrays and this may take time and memory.
array_prefix
clear_internal_cache
Clear the internal memory cache where the arrays are stored after being read from disk (used in order to reduce at minimum the readings from disk). This function is useful if you want to keep the node in memory, but you do not want to waste memory to cache the arrays in RAM.
delete_array
Delete an array from the node. Can only be called before storing.
name – The name of the array to delete from the node.
get_array
Return an array stored in the node
name – The name of the array to return.
get_arraynames

get_iterarrays
Iterator that returns tuples (name, array) for each array stored in the node.
New in version 1.0: Renamed from iterarrays
get_shape
Return the shape of an array (read from the value cached in the properties for efficiency reasons).
name – The name of the array.
initialize
Initialize internal variables for the backend node
This needs to be called explicitly in each specific subclass implementation of the init.

Store a new numpy array inside the node. Possibly overwrite the array if it already existed.
Internally, it stores a name.npy file in numpy format.

list_of_orbitals – list of orbitals, of class orbital data. They should be the ones up on which the projection array corresponds with.
list_of_projections – list of arrays of projections of a atomic wavefunctions onto bloch wavefunctions. Since the projection is for every bloch wavefunction which can be specified by its spin (if used), band, and kpoint the dimensions must be nspin x nbands x nkpoints for the projwfc array.

The steps and symbols must be set manually before calling this import function as a consistency measure. Even though the symbols and steps could be extracted from the XYZ file, the data present in the XYZ file may or may not be correct and the same logic would have to be present in the XYZ-velocities function. It was therefore decided not to implement it at all but require it to be set explicitly.
Usage:
from aiida.orm.nodes.data.array.trajectory import TrajectoryData t = TrajectoryData() # get sites and number of timesteps t.set_array('steps', arange(ntimesteps)) t.set_array('symbols', array([site.kind for site in s.sites])) t.importfile('some-calc/AIIDA-PROJECT-pos-1.xyz', 'xyz_pos')

Return the array of positions, if it has already been set.
get_step_data
Return a tuple with all information concerning the stepid with given index (0 is the first step, 1 the second step and so on). If you know only the step value, use the get_index_from_stepid() method to get the corresponding index.

The periodic boundary conditions are always set to True.
New in version 0.7: Renamed from step_to_structure
index – The index of the step that you want to retrieve, from 0 to self.numsteps- 1.

Parameters stepids, cells and velocities are optional variables. If nothing is passed for cells or velocities nothing will be stored. However, if no input is given for stepids a consecutive sequence [0,1,2,…,len(positions)-1] will be assumed.
stepids
cells
velocities
symbols – string list with dimension n, where n is the number of atoms (i.e., sites) in the structure. The same list is used for each step. Normally, the string should be a valid chemical symbol, but actually any unique string works and can be used as the name of the atomic kind (see also the get_step_structure() method).
positions – float array with dimension \(s \times n \times 3\), where s is the length of the stepids array and n is the length of the symbols array. Units are angstrom. In particular, positions[i,j,k] is the k-th component of the j-th atom (or site) in the structure at the time step with index i (identified by step number step[i] and with timestamp times[i]).

stepids – integer array with dimension s, where s is the number of steps. Typically represents an internal counter within the code. For instance, if you want to store a trajectory with one step every 10, starting from step 65, the array will be [65,75,85,...]. No checks are done on duplicate elements or on the ordering, but anyway this array should be sorted in ascending order, without duplicate elements. (If not specified, stepids will be set to numpy.arange(s) by default) It is internally stored as an array named ‘steps’.
[65,75,85,...]
numpy.arange(s)

In particular, cells[i,j,k] is the k-th component of the j-th cell vector at the time step with index i (identified by step number stepid[i] and with timestamp times[i]).
cells[i,j,k]
stepid[i]
times – if specified, float array with dimension s, where s is the length of the stepids array. Contains the timestamp of each step in picoseconds (ps).
velocities – if specified, must be a float array with the same dimensions of the positions array. The array contains the velocities in the atoms.

Wrapper for Crystallographic Interchange File (CIF)
the file (physical) is held as the authoritative source of information, so all conversions are done through the physical file: when setting ase or values, a physical CIF file is generated first, the values are updated from the physical CIF file.
ase
values
_PARSE_POLICIES
_PARSE_POLICY_DEFAULT
_SCAN_TYPES
_SCAN_TYPE_DEFAULT
_SET_INCOMPATIBILITIES
Construct a new instance and set the contents to that of the file.

Validates MD5 hash of CIF file.
_values
ASE object, representing the CIF.
requires ASE module.
from_md5
Return a list of all CIF files that match a given MD5 hash.
the hash has to be stored in a _md5 attribute, otherwise the CIF file will not be found.
_md5
generate_md5
Computes and returns MD5 hash of the CIF file.
get_ase
Returns ASE object, representing the CIF. This function differs from the property ase by the possibility to pass the keyworded arguments (kwargs) to ase.io.cif.read_cif().
get_formulae
Return chemical formulae specified in CIF file.
Note: This does not compute the formula, it only reads it from the appropriate tag. Use refine_inline to compute formulae.
get_or_create
Pass the same parameter of the init; if a file with the same md5 is found, that CifData is returned.
filename – an absolute filename on disk
use_first – if False (default), raise an exception if more than one CIF file is found. If it is True, instead, use the first available CIF file.
store_cif (bool) – If false, the CifData objects are not stored in the database. default=True.
where cif is the CifData object, and create is either True if the object was created, or False if the object was retrieved from the DB.
get_spacegroup_numbers
Get the spacegroup international number.
converter – specify the converter. Default ‘pymatgen’.
store – if True, intermediate calculation gets stored in the AiiDA database for record. Default False.
primitive_cell – if True, primitive cell is returned, conventional cell if False. Default False.
occupancy_tolerance – If total occupancy of a site is between 1 and occupancy_tolerance, the occupancies will be scaled down to 1. (pymatgen only)
site_tolerance – This tolerance is used to determine if two sites are sitting in the same position, in which case they will be combined to a single disordered site. Defaults to 1e-4. (pymatgen only)
has_atomic_sites
Returns whether there are any atomic sites defined in the cif data. That is to say, it will check all the values for the _atom_site_fract_* tags and if they are all equal to ? that means there are no relevant atomic sites defined and the function will return False. In all other cases the function will return True
False when at least one atomic site fractional coordinate is not equal to ? and True otherwise
has_attached_hydrogens
Check if there are hydrogens without coordinates, specified as attached to the atoms of the structure.
True if there are attached hydrogens, False otherwise.

A partial occupancy is defined as site with an occupancy that differs from unity, within a precision of 1E-6
True if there are partial occupancies, False otherwise
has_undefined_atomic_sites
Return whether the cif data contains any undefined atomic sites.
An undefined atomic site is defined as a site where at least one of the fractional coordinates specified in the _atom_site_fract_* tags, cannot be successfully interpreted as a float. If the cif data contains any site that matches this description, or it does not contain any atomic site tags at all, the cif data is said to have undefined atomic sites.
boolean, True if no atomic sites are defined or if any of the defined sites contain undefined positions and False otherwise
has_unknown_species
Returns whether the cif contains atomic species that are not recognized by AiiDA.
The known species are taken from the elements dictionary in aiida.common.constants, with the exception of the “unknown” placeholder element with symbol ‘X’, as this could not be used to construct a real structure. If any of the formula of the cif data contain species that are not in that elements dictionary, the function will return True and False in all other cases. If there is no formulae to be found, it will return None
True when there are unknown species in any of the formulae, False if not, None if no formula found
parse
Parses CIF file and sets attributes.
scan_type – See set_scan_type
read_cif
A wrapper method that simulates the behavior of the old function ase.io.cif.read_cif by using the new generic ase.io.read function.
Somewhere from 3.12 to 3.17 the tag concept was bundled with each Atom object. When reading a CIF file, this is incremented and signifies the atomic species, even though the CIF file do not have specific tags embedded. On reading CIF files we thus force the ASE tag to zero for all Atom elements.
set_ase
Set the contents of the CifData starting from an ASE atoms object
aseatoms – the ASE atoms object
set_file
Set the file.
If the source is set and the MD5 checksum of new file is different from the source, the source has to be deleted.

Code
A code entity. It can either be ‘local’, or ‘remote’.
Local code: it is a collection of files/dirs (added using the add_path() method), where one file is flagged as executable (using the set_local_executable() method).
Remote code: it is a pair (remotecomputer, remotepath_of_executable) set using the set_remote_computer_exec() method.
For both codes, one can set some code to be executed right before or right after the execution of the code, using the set_preexec_code() and set_postexec_code() methods (e.g., the set_preexec_code() can be used to load specific modules required for the code to be run).
HIDDEN_KEY

_using_list_reference
This function tells the class if we are using a list reference. This means that calls to self.get_list return a reference rather than a copy of the underlying list and therefore self.set_list need not be called. This knwoledge is essential to make sure this class is performant.
Currently the implementation assumes that if the node needs to be stored then it is using the attributes cache which is a reference.

name – passed to the constructor of the Kind object. See also the note below.
Note on the ‘name’ parameter (that is, the name of the kind):
if specified, no checks are done on existing species. Simply, a new kind with that name is created. If there is a name clash, a check is done: if the kinds are identical, no error is issued; otherwise, an error is issued because you are trying to store two different kinds with the same name.
if not specified, the name is automatically generated. Before adding the kind, a check is done. If other species with the same properties already exist, no new kinds are created, but the site is added to the existing (identical) kind. (Actually, the first kind that is encountered). Otherwise, the name is made unique first, by adding to the string containing the list of chemical symbols a number starting from 1, until an unique name is found

ORM class for all nodes representing the execution of a calcfunction.
validate_outgoing
Validate adding a link of the given type from ourself to a given node.
A calcfunction cannot return Data, so if we receive an outgoing link to a stored Data node, that means the user created a Data node within our function body and stored it themselves or they are returning an input node. The latter use case is reserved for @workfunctions, as they can have RETURN links.

SCHEDULER_STATE_KEY
_get_objects_to_hash
Return a list of objects which should be included in the hash.
This method is purposefully overridden from the base Node class, because we do not want to include the repository folder in the hash. The reason is that the hash of this node is computed in the store method, at which point the input files that will be stored in the repository have not yet been generated. Including these anyway in the computation of the hash would mean that the hash of the node would change as soon as the process has started and the input files have been written to the repository.

This class and its subclasses serve as proxies in the database, for actual Process instances being run. The Process instance in memory will leverage an instance of this class (the exact sub class depends on the sub class of Process) to persist important information of its state to the database. This serves as a way for the user to inspect the state of the Process during its execution as well as a permanent record of its execution in the provenance graph, after the execution has terminated.

validate_incoming
Validate adding a link of the given type from a given node to ourself.
Adding an input link to a ProcessNode once it is stored is illegal because this should be taken care of by the engine in one go. If a link is being added after the node is stored, it is most likely not by the engine and it should not be allowed.

The returned Manager allows you to easily explore the nodes connected to this node via an outgoing RETURN link. The outgoing nodes are reachable by their link labels which are attributes of the manager.
A workflow cannot ‘create’ Data, so if we receive an outgoing link to an unstored Data node, that means the user created a Data node within our function body and tries to attach it as an output. This is strictly forbidden and can cause provenance to be lost.

Node
Bases: aiida.orm.entities.Entity
aiida.orm.entities.Entity
Base class for all nodes in AiiDA.
Stores attributes starting with an underscore.
Caches files and attributes before the first save, and saves everything only on store(). After the call to store(), attributes cannot be changed.

a stored Node instance with the same hash as this code or None
Note: this should be only called on stored nodes, or internally from .store() since it first calls clean_value() on the attributes to normalise them.
_incoming_cache
_iter_all_same_nodes
Returns an iterator of all same nodes.
_repository
_store
Store the node in the database while saving its attributes and repository directory.
with_transaction – if False, do not use a transaction because the caller will already have opened one.

_store_from_cache
Store this node from an existing cache node.
Check if the attributes and files retrieved from the database are valid.
Must be able to work even before storing: therefore, use the get_attr and similar methods that automatically read either from the DB or from the internal attribute cache.
For the base class, this is always valid. Subclasses will reimplement this. In the subclass, always call the super()._validate() method first!
add_comment
Add a new comment.
content – string with comment
user – the user to associate with the comment, will use default if not supplied
the newly created comment
add_incoming
Add a link of the given type from a given node to ourself.

Warning
While the node is unstored, this will return references of the attributes on the database model, meaning that changes on the returned values (if they are mutable themselves, e.g. a list or dictionary) will automatically be reflected on the database model as well. As soon as the node is stored, the returned attributes will be a deep copy and mutations of the database attributes will have to go through the appropriate set methods. Therefore, once stored, retrieving a deep copy can be a heavy operation. If you only need the keys or some values, use the iterators attributes_keys and attributes_items, or the getters get_attribute and get_attribute_many instead.

aiida.common.ModificationNotAllowed – if repository is immutable and force=False
description
Return the node description.

Return the complete extras dictionary.
While the node is unstored, this will return references of the extras on the database model, meaning that changes on the returned values (if they are mutable themselves, e.g. a list or dictionary) will automatically be reflected on the database model as well. As soon as the node is stored, the returned extras will be a deep copy and mutations of the database extras will have to go through the appropriate set methods. Therefore, once stored, retrieving a deep copy can be a heavy operation. If you only need the keys or some values, use the iterators extras_keys and extras_items, or the getters get_extra and get_extra_many instead.

Return a list of stored nodes which match the type and hash of the current node.
All returned nodes are valid caches, meaning their _aiida_hash extra matches self.get_hash().
Note: this can be called only after storing a Node (since at store time attributes will be cleaned with clean_value and the hash should become idempotent to the action of serialization/deserialization)
get_attribute
Return the value of an attribute.
While the node is unstored, this will return a reference of the attribute on the database model, meaning that changes on the returned value (if they are mutable themselves, e.g. a list or dictionary) will automatically be reflected on the database model as well. As soon as the node is stored, the returned attribute will be a deep copy and mutations of the database attributes will have to go through the appropriate set methods.

Return the list of stored link triples directly incoming to or outgoing of this node.
Note this will only return link triples that are stored in the database. Anything in the cache is ignored.
node_class – If specified, should be a class, and it filters only elements of that (subclass of) type
link_type – Only get inputs of this link type, if empty tuple then returns all inputs of all link types.
link_label_filter – filters the incoming nodes by its link label. This should be a regex statement as one would pass directly to a QuerBuilder filter statement with the ‘like’ operation.
link_direction – incoming or outgoing to get the incoming or outgoing links, respectively.
has_cached_links
Feturn whether there are unstored incoming links in the cache.
boolean, True when there are links in the incoming cache, False otherwise
is_created_from_cache
Return whether this node was created from a cached node.
boolean, True if the node was created by cloning a cached node, False otherwise
Hook to exclude certain Node instances from being considered a valid cache.
list_object_names
Return a list of the object names contained in this repository, optionally in the given sub directory.
a list of File named tuples representing the objects present in directory with the given key
list_objects
Return a list of the objects contained in this repository, optionally in the given sub directory.
FileNotFoundError – if the path does not exist in the repository of this node
Return the logger configured for this Node.
Logger object
mtime
Return the node mtime.
the mtime
node_type
Return the node type.
the node type
Open a file handle to an object stored under the given key.
mode – the mode under which to open the handle
process_type
Return the node process type.
the process type
put_object_from_file
Store a new object under key with contents of the file located at path on this file system.
path – absolute path of file whose contents to copy to the repository
mode – the file mode with which the object will be written Deprecated: will be removed in v2.0.0
encoding – the file encoding with which the object will be written Deprecated: will be removed in v2.0.0
put_object_from_filelike
Store a new object under key with contents of filelike object handle.
handle – filelike object with the content to be stored
mode – the file mode with which the object will be written
encoding – the file encoding with which the object will be written
put_object_from_tree
Store a new object under key with the contents of the directory located at path on this file system.
path – absolute path of directory whose contents to copy to the repository
contents_only – boolean, if True, omit the top level directory of the path and only copy its contents.
rehash
Regenerate the stored hash of the Node.
remove_comment
Delete an existing comment.
reset_attributes
Reset the attributes.
This will completely clear any existing attributes and replace them with the new dictionary.
attributes – a dictionary with the attributes to set
aiida.common.ValidationError – if any of the keys are invalid, i.e. contain periods
reset_extras
Reset the extras.
This will completely clear any existing extras and replace them with the new dictionary.
extras – a dictionary with the extras to set
set_attribute
Set an attribute to the given value.
value – value of the attribute
aiida.common.ValidationError – if the key is invalid, i.e. contains periods
set_attribute_many
Set multiple attributes.
This will override any existing attributes that are present in the new dictionary.
set_extra
Set an extra to the given value.
value – value of the extra
set_extra_many
Set multiple extras.
This will override any existing extras that are present in the new dictionary.
After being called attributes cannot be changed anymore! Instead, extras can be changed only AFTER calling this store() function.
After successful storage, those links that are in the cache, and for which also the parent node is already stored, will be automatically stored. The others will remain unstored.
store_all
Store the node, together with all input links.
Unstored nodes from cached incoming linkswill also be stored.
update_comment
Update the content of an existing comment.
content – the new comment content
user
Return the user of this node.
the user
User
uuid
Return the node UUID.
the string representation of the UUID
This function will first validate the types of the inputs, followed by the node and link types and validate whether in principle a link of that type between the nodes of these types is allowed.
Subsequently, the validity of the “degree” of the proposed link is validated, which means validating the number of links of the given type from the given node type is allowed.
The validity of the triple (source, link, target) should be validated in the validate_incoming call. This method will be called afterwards and can be overriden by subclasses to add additional checks that are specific to that subclass.
validate_storability
Verify that the current node is allowed to be stored.
aiida.common.exceptions.StoringNotAllowed – if the node does not match all requirements for storing
verify_are_parents_stored
Verify that all parent nodes are already stored.
aiida.common.ModificationNotAllowed – if one of the source nodes of incoming links is not stored.
