CPMD v4.3.0

The Atomes helper for the CPMD calculation offers to prepare input files for CPMD v4.3.0. Please note that the CPMD code offers so many calculation options that it is not possible either to provide a description or to offer a comprehensive usage guide for each of these options. Therefore the CPMD calculation assistant only provides help towards basics and / or frequently used calculation options.
In any case if you intent to use the CPMD code please refer to the user manual:
