Dear developers,

In VASP5, the symmetry operations found by the symmetry routine were written on the OUTCAR file. I just started using VASP6 and I cannot find this information written in the OUTCAR. Is it possible to switch on some flag to make this possible?

Hello Iñigo,

sorry for the late reply... additional symmetry information from the ISYM > 0 analysis can be turned on by setting the tag NWRITE = 3.

Btw, the output format of symmetry operators has changed in VASP 6 (if you enable it via NWRITE = 3). To get back the VASP 5 way of writing symmetry operators, please have a look at this thread: https://vasp.at/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=18791
