In 2014, within 11 years, COD accumulated over 250,000 structures. Since then, more than 35,000 have been added to COD each year. COD is recommended by scientific journals to deposit crystallographic data. With the |medea| |codgui|, you have full access to all COD structure data records and can fully leverage the rich COD content to perform atomistic simulations with |medea|. Specifications ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * 4.4 GB database file stored on disk * Access to more than 450,000 structure records * Regular COD updates, along with |medea| updates Key Features ^^^^^^^^^^^^ * Largest open access collection of crystal structures of organic molecules * Fully compatible with all |medea| compute engines and |medea| property modules * Ideally suited for materials properties screening and optimization Properties ^^^^^^^^^^ * Detailed information of lattice parameters, symmetry (space group), and bibliographic reference * Atomic coordinates, and interatomic distances and angles * Atomic coordination * Pair correlation function * X-ray diffraction (XRD) powder pattern (radiation source dependent) Required Modules ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * |medea| |menvironment| (includes |medea| |infomatica|) Recommended Modules ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * |medea| |pearson| * |medea| |icsd| * |medea| |mvasp| * |medea| |htlaunchpad| Find Out More ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Learn more about |medea| |infomatica| in the video tutorial: |youtube03.01| on the |youtube|. .. add for a column break, adjust where needed .. raw:: latex \newpage The Crystallography Open Database, an academic project managed by the Vilnius University Institute of Biotechnology in Lithuania [#COD]_ ..
