Dear VASP Users and Developers,

does the standard VASP distribution offer any options to treat Van der Waals interaction? I have heard about Grimme's force field and VASP, but it is not clear to me as to whether this was a special implementation or it became a standard option.

Thank you in advance.

Grimme's method is currently tested, it will be included in vasp.5.2 as soon as the tests are finished
