NAME

       abinis - Sequential version of ABINIT

SYNOPSIS


					  abinis < input file > log file

DESCRIPTION

	abinis is an atomic-scale simulation software and is part of the ABINIT project.

	ABINIT is a package the main program allows one to find the total energy, charge density and electronic structure of systems made of elec-
       trons and nuclei (molecules and periodic solids) within Density Functional Theory (DFT), using  pseudopotentials  and  a  planewave  basis.
       ABINIT  also  includes  options to optimize the geometry according to the DFT forces and stresses, or to perform molecular dynamics simula-
       tions using these forces, or to generate dynamical matrices, Born effective charges, and dielectric tensors. Excited states can be computed
       within the Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (for molecules), or within Many-Body Perturbation Theory (the GW approximation).

       By  default  abinis reads an info block from standard input and logs run-time messages to standard output, while writing the results of the
       simulation to a file specified in the info block. The format of this info block is described in	 abinit.files(5) .

	abinis is the sequential version of the ABINIT code, which means that it will run on one processor only. See   abinip(1)  if you  are  in-
       terested in multiprocessor simulations.
