universe

mdtools.select.universe(top, trj, verbose=True, **kwargs)

Create a MDAnalysis Universe from a topology and a trajectory file.

Parameters

• top (str) – Filename of the topology file. See supported topology formats of MDAnalysis.

• trj (str) – Filename of the trajectory. See supported coordinate formats of MDAnalysis.

• verbose (bool, optional) – If True, print some basic information about the created MDAnalysis Universe to standard output. In fact, if verbose is False, mdtools.select.universe() simply calls the constructor of MDAnalysis.core.universe.Universe and returns the resulting MDAnalysis MDAnalysis.core.universe.Universe.

• kwargs (dict, optional) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the constructor of MDAnalysis.core.universe.Universe.

Returns

universe – The created MDAnalysis Universe.

Return type

MDAnalysis.core.universe.Universe

mdtools.run_time_info.ag_info_str()

Create a string containing information about a MDAnalysis AtomGroup.

Notes

This function is just a convinient wrapper around the constructor of MDAnalysis.core.universe.Universe that can print the information generated by mdtools.run_time_info.ag_info_str() about the created MDAnalysis.core.universe.Universe to standard output.
