No longer broken: access to Bilbao

[briantoby]

At present, due to improved (and, alas, needed) web-site security, GSAS-II access to the Bilbao utilities is not working. The folks running that wonderful web site are talking with us on how to address this so GSAS-II will again be able to use their site, but at present it just fails (with a message on the GSAS-II console).

Is it possible to manually input a magnetic space group, or are there any alternative solutions that allow users to do this without accessing the Bilbao website?

@Jia-Yen (from @vondreele): Yes. Follow the tutorial “Simple Magnetic Structure Analysis”. That will take you through the steps for doing a magnetic structure “by hand”.

Note that you can still access Bilbao to look up things, just not through GSAS-II until we get things fixed with them.

We have successfully added the magnetic structure. It is incredibly helpful for our research! Thank you very much for your assistance.

Best regards from a user in Taiwan.

Excellent

I have just committed changes that should again allow Bilbao access. Note that an extra step that is required, which is that you need to register for access in order to access BCS from software such as GSAS-II rather than from a web browser and then supply that information to GSAS-II.

The steps needed to register for access are presented in a new tutorial

Please let me know if you find problems.
