ELPH_WRITE_HDF5VEL = [logical]
Default: ELPH_WRITE_HDF5VEL = .FALSE. 

Description: If set, writes the electron group velocities to the vaspout.h5 file.

Mind: Available as of VASP 6.5.0

The dataset is stored in the vaspout.h5 file

 $ h5ls -r vaspout.h5 | grep velocity
 /results/electron_phonon/electrons/velocity Dataset {3, 1, 20, 8}

The group velocities are written in ev Å units in cartesian coordinates. This tag can be used independently of ELPH_WRITE_TEXTVEL. The number of bands is the one set by ELPH_NBANDS which can in some cases be different from NBANDS. If both are set, both outputs are written.
