Extracting and Converting from OUTCAR File to XYZ File

Open LiMahappy opened this issue 9 months ago • 6 comments

Dear Developer,

I am a beginner with KLIFF and have been able to train potential functions using example files. However, I am unable to access the initial training set files and can only obtain the OUTCAR file from VASP's AIMD calculations. Could you please advise me on how to extract and convert the OUTCAR file into an XYZ file? I am aware that certain software like ASE or pymatgen can be used to parse VASP outputs, and subsequently, the KLIFF write_extxyz function can be utilized to create an extxyz file. However, I am not very clear on the specific steps involved in this process. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide some guidance, and it would be even more helpful if you could supply a sample case. I am eagerly awaiting your response.

Best regards.
