Problem with "svsl" program

Hello all,

Actually, I am working with ATAT in order to gain the vibration free energy. I have ran the "svsl" program like below:

svsl -df=inputfile

But, just two output files have been produced which are named "eigenvect.out" and "eigenfreq.out" . The problem is that the files named "fvib", "svsl.out", "vdos.out" and "svsl.log" are not produced. Based on the manual, I have the following files for running the "svsl" program:

"slspring.out" which has been gained from Phonon Dispersion that includes the symmetry paths related to the input file curves and also these below files:

"str_relax.out", "str.out" and "fitsvsl"

I was wondering how I should get the vibration free energy. Could you please guide me through this process and tell me what the problem is?

Thanks,
Regards,
Sina

Did you run fitsvsl first?
Maybe run svsl -h
and fitsvsl -h
first for some help.

Hi Sina,

I saw your post and I have a question from this. When you are using svsl -df=inputfile, how are you defining your inputfile?
