Today, I noticed another similar tool named elastool, which seems to have more features than elate, but I'm unsure. Could you please give some objective comparisons and comments on the similarities and differences between these two tools?

Hi @fxcoudert ,

Please refactor elastic.py to not hard-code mapiKey. For example. you can set an environment variable MAPI_KEY and load it using os.environ["MAPI_KEY"] in the code. The ELATE integration with the Materials Project does not work right now because we had to revoke the key. These keys should not be shared publicly. Thank you for understanding, and thank you for maintaining this great project.

How to use the code locally instead of calling it via the web interface?

For example, I can not find the code for/powering the "Visualize in 3D" function.

Thank you for developing a nice web service and sharing its code openly.

Have you ever considered having plots with sound velocities too?

Sounds like a good idea!

The alpha-quartz example fails…

First of, thanks a lot for your work! I really like ELATE!

Now, that the two-dimensional properties are implemented, it might be useful to also include the Voigt, Reuss and Hill averaging schemes for 2D. I found this paper in which they derived them: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eml.2019.100615 (eq. 6). (I also derived myself them and got the same result)

I'd be happy to implement this and make a pull request, if this is wanted.
