Reading VASP output file

Only the OUTCAR is imported by MOLDRAW. In case of a geometry optimization a sequence file is created and automatically read to show the progression of the optimization. For large OUTCAR files the process can become significantly slow due to limitation in the coding.

The same procedure happens for molecular dynamics calculations and in this case the conversion can be very slow indeed.

The sequence of files extracted from the OUTCAR is written in the tmp subdirectory of the directory where the OUTCAR resides with the name vasp_seq.seq. So in case of viewing again the same sequence is much more quicker open the sequence files from the File menu.
