Making a simulation using a MD++ script
To make your simulation movie, you need to follow these three major steps:
1. Make cfg files using the scipt file. To do so,
add this command to your script file before your iterations. This command will create the cfg files.
savecfg = 1 savecfgfreq = 50 intercfgfile = inter.cfg
Next, run the script file.
Example: ...MD++$ bin/tersoff_gpp scripts/myscripts/buckyball.script
Example: ...MD++$ls runs/buckyball/ (Check that the cfg files were created.)
Example: ...MD++$ rm runs/buckyball/inter00* (to remove your cfg files type this command)
2. Select make the necessary changes to your initial frame and they run the simulation.
Example: ...MD++$ Tools/AtomEye/A.i686 runs/buckyball/inter0001.cfg &
Now, presse the key "y" to start creating the jpg files.
3. Get this compression file and place it in the MD++ directory: [vidcompress]
Example: ...MD++$ chmod 755 vidcompress
Run the vidcompress execution file.
Example: ...MD++$ ./vidcompress
Lastly, run the movie.
Example: ...MD++$ mplayer Nameofanimation.mpg
