Hi,

I am about to start a new multi-institutional project involving large scale numerical simulations and experiments of material fatigue.

I’ve gotten through many of the documentation pages, and tutorials, but am still trying to understand if Aiida is the right tool for what we want to achieve. Is there any way to have a quick chat with somebody from the team?

Thanks,

Blaise

Hi @bourdin! Glad to hear you’re looking into AiiDA. I’d be happy to have a chat, but am currently in Australia (AEST) for a few months. What time zone are you in?
