FAQ

What input file formats are supported?

Any input file format supported by pymatgen. This includes CIF, POSCAR, CSSR and pymatgen JSON. See here for more information. Additional file formats might be supported on request.

A transformation doesn't seem to be working?

This is a known issue in some instances, where transformations may time out for certain larger crystal structures or combinations of inputs. Any transformation taking longer than 30 seconds will time out.

Please ask on the Materials Project forum if this is a problem for you. We are improving this functionality over time. For advanced users, all transformations are also available for use via pymatgen.
