I need help to view the vibrational modes:
Is there a software which can be used to view the vibrational modes (animation) in OUTCAR? Do I have to extract data from OUTCAR and make a file in a certain form? Thank you!

there is none such visualization software for vasp.

Hello,
After a frequency calculation I have been used WxDragon:

Hi Krishna and Pierre,

I also downloaded Wxdragon. There is only two options to read VASP files (EIGENVAL &DOSCAR). Not for POSCAR or CONTCAR, If you found solution, please let me know.
Thanks.

Hello,

To view frequencies with wxdragon you open the OUTCAR file. Then in the DISPLAY menu you can find vibration and normally visualize them ... That' how I did in the past.

Thanks Pierre,

I try same as you suggested but I could not use these options (Trajectory, vibration and orbitals).
Program does not allow to use these.
Please suggest something ..

Dear Amit,

For me It works.
Just contact Directly the wxdragon Admin.

Pierre.

Dear all,

It has been some time since the last response. Is there any software currently that can be used to visualize vibrational frequencies? Apparently wxdragon website is not active anymore.

Best regards,

Ilker

For the ones who need wxdragon, here is the new working link (as a part of LOBSTER package):
