Hi VASP-forums followers,
due to the release-notes of VASP 6.2.0 on the download-page the semi-empirical
vDW correction DFTD4 was implemented.
I can't find any description about DFTD4 and its usage in the VASP-wiki.
Will the wiki be updated soon?
Can somebody give me some hints, please?
Thank you in advance.

Re: VASP 6.2.0: How to use DFTD4?
To use DFTD4 you need to download and compile the code from their website
https://github.com/dftd4/dftd4
Then you add a -DDFTD4 preprocessor option to your makefile.include and modify link and include path adding the path to your installation of DFTD4.
When that works you can activate it by setting IVDW = 13.
