The CONTCAR_disp-N file is an output file of a split finite differences calculation that contains the structural information of the Nth displacement.

Mind: Available as of VASP 6.6.0

This file has the same format as the CONTCAR or POSCAR file. It is typically generated alongside the vaspcheckfd.h5 file by setting CHECKPOINT_FD = PREPARE. The CONTCAR_disp-N file can be renamed and used as the POSCAR input for a subsequent displacement calculation, e.g., CHECKPOINT_FD = SINGLE.
