RMG is an automatic chemical reaction mechanism generator that constructs kinetic models composed of elementary chemical reaction steps using a general understanding of how molecules react. This documentation is for the newer Python version of RMG that we call RMG-Py.
| I want to... | Resource |
|---|---|
| analyze models & search databases | RMG website resources (no download needed) |
| make transition state theory calculations | Run Cantherm with the Canterm User's Guide |
| create mechanisms automatically | Download RMG with the RMG User's Guide |
| post an issue with RMG | GitHub issues page |
| contribute to RMG project | RMG developer's wiki |
CanTherm is developed and distributed as part of RMG-Py, but can be used as a stand-alone application for Thermochemistry, Transition State Theory, and Master Equation chemical kinetics calculations. Its user guide is also included.
The last section of this documentation covers some of the more in depth theory behind RMG and CanTherm.
Please visit http://reactionmechanismgenerator.github.io/RMG-Py/ for the most up to date documentation and source code. You may refer to the separate RMG-Py API Reference document to view the details of RMG-Py's modules and subpackages.
