In pdynamo 3.0.9
A vector3
can be defined by importing from Geometry
module. For example,
center = Vector3.Null ( )
It looks like a vector3 is just 3 element vector. Not really sure but here is what I found in pScientific/Symmetry/PointGroupFinder.py
file
You will need to get the center of mass however by looping over each atom in the geometry e.g.
$X_i = \displaystyle\sum_a^{N_a} m_a x_{ia}/M $
Which could be done in python like
np.sum([xyz[i,:]*atomic_masses[i]/M for i in range(self.natoms)],axis=0)
However, you are going to want to use an explicit for loop and loop over the coordinates3
of your geometry. Furthermore, I'm not sure ifyou're gonna need the masses are.
It looks like that's stored anywhere, or if you are going to have to do that separatelyin system.atoms
e.g. atom.mass
But that's a separate problem.
There may be a simple trick to do this but I'm not that familiar with pDynamo!
