 This third example is a test of calculation from a [[fileformat:cif|CIF file]] for the crystal structure. In order to run this simulation, you need to install the [[software:PyCifRW|PyCifRW]] python package otherwise it will not work. This third example is a test of calculation from a [[fileformat:cif|CIF file]] for the crystal structure.

-Our problem was that the widely used space group for olivine, //Pbnm//, do not have a space groupe number and we need a space group number for the index.ini input file for GrainSpotter. So we use a CIF file to translate the cristallographic properties of olivine from //Pbnm// to //Pnma// an other space group used for olivine which does have a space group number. +Our problem was that the widely used space group for olivine, //Pbnm//, do not have a space groupe number and we need a space group number for the index.ini input file for GrainSpotter.

 First get a //Pbnm// CIF file from the American Mineralogist crystal structure database and transform it to have a CIF file for //Pnma// space group. In order to do so, only change the cell length on each axes (//a//,//b//,//c//) like shown before, and the //x//, //y//, //z// axes in the symetry operations (//x// to //z//, //y// to //x//, //z// to //y//).

 Then, before the simulation of your data, in the .inp file for PolyXSim you should put a # before the space group line and make the structure_phase_0 line active. You should have : Then, before the simulation of your data, in the .inp file for PolyXSim you should put a # before the space group line and make the structure_phase_0 line active. You should have :
