Hi,
i'm running some calculations for the de-wetting of metals on substrates.
In the dump file, i'm saving coordinates and velocities.
I can visualize the coordinates with vmd.
Is there a way to visualize the velocities with vmd as well, and from a dump file?
Thanks
Regards
Miguel

if you use a recent version of VMD, the enclosed plugin for
the lammps text mode format will read velocities and expose
them for internal use.
what works out of the box is coloring atoms by velocity.
if you want to add little arrows to the atoms, then it
would require some tcl scripting effort. check out:

for a little tutorial on advanced VMD scripting
with an example that visualizes a dipole. that just
needs to be generalized to using the vx/vy/vz fields.
