The options for the analysis of the second-order elastic constants (or moduli) tensor are briefly presented below. This is the output of the quantas soec -h.

Usage: quantas soec [OPTIONS] FILENAME

  Second-order elastic moduli analisys.

  This command requires a file (FILENAME) that will be read to provide the
  input data for the calculations.

Options:
  -o, --outfile out_file  Output file where data will be stored, without
                          extension.
  --punit [GPa]           Measurement unit for pressure values.  [default:
                          (GPa)]
  --polar                 Calculate elastic properties on (xy), (xz) and (yz)
                          planes.
  -p, --plot              Create polar plots of the results.
  --dpi INTEGER           Resolution (DPI) of the output figures.  [default:
                          80]
  -q, --quiet             Output will not be printed on screen.
  -d, --debug             Activate debug option.
  -h, --help              Show this message and exit.
