Apply fixed velocity to atoms

[Oemer_Sahin]

Hi,

I want to do a simulation where specific atoms move with a constant velocity (pulling a gold wire). I have tried using EFOR but it was either too weak resulting in no forced movement or too strong. Is there another setting I could use (or change something in the source code) to force specific velocities for some atoms? (I also want to use MLFF)

Hi Oemer,

You can use "INCREM" in your INCAR file to controls the transformation velocity in the slow-growth approach.
Please also check this tutorial for more information.
