GULP-General Utility Lattice Program

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around challenges faced by beginners using GULP, particularly in compiling the software for parallel processing and understanding key concepts like space group symmetry. Users express confusion about the value of space group symmetry for silicon and seek guidance on implementing periodic boundary conditions after defining system positions. Additionally, there are inquiries about running GULP through GDIS, with multiple users reporting difficulties in installing the Windows version of GULP. The overall sentiment reflects a need for support and clarification on these technical issues.

I wonder if somebody has ued it before. I have some probblems in compiling it to work in parallel and I hope that somebody can help in this!

Well even i have just started to use it. I also have issues. From example I don't understand what it means by space group symmetry in GULP. I'm wondering what would be its value for silicon. Also I would like to know after defining the position of systems, how should i give a periodic boundary condition to the system. Can anyone help me out here pleasee
 
I am also one beginer,I have downloaded the GULP which is windows version and I have downloaded the GDIS at the same time.But I don't know how run GULP through GDIS.
Who can help me?
 
I am a beginer too with GULP and still trying to install the windows version but it does not work and I really need help!

Thread 'Need to anneal 5052 aluminum'

I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
