Here is a brief tutorial on how to run a calculation and how to run post-traitment tools

  • VASP calculations:
3 versions of the VASP code are available:
  1. the so-called gamma version which allows you to make gamma calculation but with only 1 K-point
  2. To use it, enter the following command on a terminal
    vasp_gam
  3. the so-called standard version which allows you to make standard calculation with several K-points
  4. To use it, enter the following command on a terminal
    vasp_std
  5. the so-called non-colinear version which allows you to make non-colinear calculation with several K-points
  6. To use it, enter the following command on a terminal
    vasp_ncl
Please always keep in mind that our local workstation are quite limited so please avoid to run two VASP calculations simultaneously.
