dials.refine_bravais_settings

Introduction

Refinement of Bravais settings consistent with the primitive unit cell.

This program takes as input the output of dials.index, i.e. indexed.expt and indexed.refl files. Full refinement of the crystal and experimental geometry parameters will be performed (by default) in all Bravais settings that are consistent with the input primitive unit cell. A table is printed containing various information for each potential Bravais setting, including the metric fit (a measure of the deviation from the triclinic cell), the root-mean-square-deviations (rmsd), in mm, between the observed and predicted spot centroids, the refined unit cell parameters in each Bravais setting, and the change of basis operator to transform from the triclinic cell to each Bravais setting.

The program also generates a .expt file for each Bravais setting, e.g. bravais_setting_1.expt, which is equivalent to the input indexed.expt, but with the crystal model refined in the chosen Bravais setting. These bravais_setting_*.expt files are suitable as input to dials.refine or dials.integrate, although the indexed.refl file will need to be re-indexed using dials.reindex if the change of basis operator (cb_op) for the chosen Bravais setting is not the identity operator (a,b,c).

dials.refine_bravais_settings indexed.expt indexed.refl
