GDIS short tutorials I
Channel: Hubert Okadome Valencia
Date: 2020-11-13

This is a new format of short tutorial for using the GDIS visualization software [1] with USPEX [2], VASP [3], and GULP [4].
***
In this tutorial, we launch a variable composition USPEX calculation using GULP with the minimum settings, leaving GDIS to fill up most of the parameters.
THIS IS ONLY A DEMONSTRATION! There is not much sense in optimizing SiC using Tersoff potential similarly to this tutorial!
I hope users can get a little grasp of GDIS functionality.
GDIS can now be download and install using:
git clone https://github.com/ovhpa/gdis.git
cd gdis
git checkout prelease
./install
