Hello,

I read the previous comments regarding the van der Waals correction in vasp according to Grimme's recipe. My question is: when do the developers anticipate to release that option? In other words, do they plan to do this in 2-3 months, a year, ...?

Some van der waals related files are distributed with the 5.2.2 version but they are not active. Has anybody figured out how to take advantage of this option even though it is not officially available yet?

Thanks,
Lilia

I'm meeting the same problem. Could anybody tell me how to activate the option in vasp 5.2.2?

I am having the same problem. I have 5.2.8 and the calculation appears no different if I use the LVDW = .TRUE. option.

van der Waals interactions will be fully supported in the upcoming release vasp.5.2.10

van der Waals interactions will be fully supported in the upcoming release vasp.5.2.10

What is the expected release date of vasp 5.2.10?

In the recent JPCA paper of Tomas Bucko, it was written that vasp.5.2.8 should have already done the vdw calcualtion.
