ANETO: anisotropic elasticity toolkit

Aneto calculates the interaction energy of a periodic lattice of point defects using outputs from atomistic calculations (elastic constants, residual stress and periodicity vectors). One can thus withdraw this interaction energy from the energy given by atomistic simulations where periodicity boundary conditions are used, like in ab initio calculations, and obtain the energy of the isolated point defect.
