The CONFIG File

The CONFIG file contains the dimensions of the unit cell, the key for periodic boundary conditions and the atomic labels, coordinates, velocities and forces. This file is read by the subroutine SYSGEN. (It is also read by the subroutine SIMDEF if the ewald precision directive is used.) The first few records of a typical CONFIG file are shown below:
