Hi,
I have the VMD version 1.9 installed in my machine and I was told that this version takes even the velocities of an atom in the x, y , z directions for better visualization. Could anybody please tell me what is the input file format for VMD with velocities so I can create my dump for syntax in LAMMPS accordingly.
Regards,
Saketh.

all you have to do is to create a custom dump with LAMMPS and read it
into VMD. you can see in the VMD console window, if the velocities are
found and read in.
a typical dump command, that i use is this:
dump 1 all custom 1000 equilib-0.lammpstrj id type xu yu zu vx vy vz
when reading this output into VMD i would get:
Info) Using plugin lammpstrj for structure file equilib-0.lammpstrj
Info) lammpsplugin) New style dump with 8 data fields. 0x28
Info) lammpsplugin) Using absolute atomic coordinates directly.
Info) lammpsplugin) Importing atomic velocities.
Info) Using plugin lammpstrj for coordinates from file equilib-0.lammpstrj
Info) lammpsplugin) Importing velocities from custom LAMMPS dump file.
