OOMMF Examples

Duncan Parkes
Installing OOMMF and tcl/tk
• Get oommf:
• http://math.nist.gov/oommf/ (Get the most recent version – even if it an
alpha version)
• Install tcl/tk:
• Windows:
• http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads (Make sure you get the
right version for the version of OOMMF you downloaded).
• Install tcl/tk
• Unzip and run OOMMF
• Linux:
• http://deparkes.wordpress.com/2012/06/02/installing-oommf-on-ubuntu-
11-04/

Analysis
• Making sure we get the right outputs
• Built-in OOMMF tools
• OOMMFTools
Setting automatic output:

Saves output every 5000 steps (in


this case 1 step = 1ps)
Built-in analysis

Can save as bitmap


Also command line tools, but...
Other analysis

GUI
omf2mat.py bmp2avi.py
odt2dat.py

Also https://github.com/deparkes/scripts/
mat2velocity.m
First attempts at processing in matlab
mat2strayfield.m
avf2bmp.py
Convert oommf vector output to

master_depinning.py Master script for several processing scripts


Things to watch out for:
- Staircase discretisation: non-90-degree angles will have steps in them
- Cell size: generally needs to be below exchange length for accurate calculation
