AutoMeKin (formerly known as ''tsscds'') is a computer program that has been designed to discover reaction mechanisms and solve the kinetics in an automated fashion. AutoMeKin obtains transition state guess structures from trajectory simulations of the highly vibrationally excited species. From the obtained TS structures, minima and product fragments are determined following the intrinsic reaction coordinate. Finally, having determined the stationary points, the reaction network is constructed and the kinetics is solved. The program is interfaced with MOPAC2016 and Gaussian 09 (G09).
 
 
 
Details of the method are described in these two publications: [http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jcc.23790/abstract 1]
 
[http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2015/cp/c5cp02175h#!divAbstract 2]
 
 
 
Users are encouraged to read the [http://forge.cesga.es/frs/?group_id=77&release_id=21 tutorial], which is thought to guide you through the various steps necessary to predict reaction mechanisms and kinetics of unimolecular decompositions. To facilitate the presentation, we consider, as an example, the decomposition of formic acid (FA).
 
 
 
The program has been tested on the following Linux distros: CentOS 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

==Download source code & tutorial==
 
Both, the source code and tutorial can be downloaded from the following [http://forge.cesga.es/frs/?group_id=77&release_id=21 link]
 
 
 
==Install the code==
 
Follow this link: [[Installation instructions]]
 
 
 
==Program execution==
 
To start using any of the scripts of the program, you have to load tsscds/2018 module:
 
 
 
<code>module load tsscds/2018</code>
 
 
 
To run the low-level calculations use:
 
 
 
<code>nohup llcalcs.sh molecule.dat ntasks niter runningtasks >llcalcs.log 2>&1 &</code>
 
 
 
where:<br />
 
<code>molecule</code> is  the name of your molecule<br />
 
<code>ntasks</code> is the number of tasks<br />
 
<code>niter</code> is the number of iterations<br />
 
<code>runningtasks</code> is the number of simultaneous tasks
 
 
 
To run the high-level calculations use:
 
 
 
<code>nohup hlcalcs.sh molecule.dat runningtasks >hlcalcs.log 2>&1 &</code>
 
 
 
For more details, follow the instructions given in the [http://forge.cesga.es/frs/?group_id=77&release_id=21 tutorial]
