Presets and templates

Presets let you apply a named group of parameter values in one click. They are useful for common calculation types (geometry relaxation, band-structure run, single-point energy) or for reusing settings you have tuned in a previous calculation.

Built-in presets

SiestaStudio ships with presets for typical workflows. Open the Presets panel and click a preset name to apply it. The parameter panels update immediately and the FDF preview reflects the change.

Saving your own presets

After dialing in a set of parameters, click Save as preset from the presets panel. Give it a name and it will appear alongside the built-in ones in future calculations.

Import and export

Presets can be exported as JSON files and imported on another account or shared with a colleague. Use Export preset and Import preset in the panel menu.
