MDALGO = 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 11 | 21 | 13
Default: MDALGO = 0 

Description: MDALGO specifies the molecular dynamics simulation protocol (in case IBRION=0 and VASP was compiled with -Dtbdyn).


Standard molecular dynamics (IBRION=0), the same behavior as if VASP were compiled without -Dtbdyn.
Andersen thermostat.
Nose-Hoover thermostat (SMASS needs to be specified in the INCAR file).
Langevin dynamics.
Metadynamics with Andersen thermostat.
Metadynamics with Nose-Hoover Thermostat (SMASS needs to be specified in the INCAR file).
Up to three user-defined atomic subsystems coupled with independent Andersen thermostats.
