Hi everyone,
I have a few questions about the neb calculation.
- About the output files. How can I know the image number of each log.lammps.* files? And, which energy in each log.lammps.* file should I pick as the data point on the MEP curve for the corresponding replica? Specifically, in the lines like this:
“Energy initial, next-to-last, final =”
As I understand, I should choose the value of the “final” column, is that correct? Meanwhile, should I pick these values to make the plot by hand? Or, is there any more convenient way for this?
- I generated the dump.combine and dump.final files by using the python scripts in the tool folder. But the files do not seem right. The last part of the coordinations contains atoms 4 times more than it should be. I am using OVITO to visualize. I cannot open the files as a continuous serial of snapshots. When I split the file into segments and open them by OVITO, I did not get reasonable snapshots.
I am wondering that what was wrong with my case. Really appreciate the possible help!
Best,
Alice
