MD simulation - print out velocities at each time step

#1 Post by halinh » Thu Jan 12, 2012 1:32 pm

Hello,
I am learning to use MD on VASP. I am wondering if it is possible to print out velociteis or momenta of atoms at each time step. Because unitl now, I haven't found any parameters at INCAR which control this function.
Thank you very much,

You can calculate the velocities with finite difference from the from the trajectory (XDATCAR).

There was a script for doing this; it probably needs to be updated, but it may be a helpful start. See:
