TAPE21 and logfile

If a TAPE21 file (ADF binary) or an ADF logfile (text file) is selected, ADFmovie displays the series of the changing geometries in the specified file. Typically this will be the change in geometry of a molecule as a result of a geometry optimization, an IRC run, or a frequency run.

If you make a movie of a running calculation, the logfile will be used by default. ADFmovie does have live-updating: the movie will automatically grow when more frames will be available in the logfile.

If it is generated with ADFinput, the ADF logfile file will have a .logfile extension, and the ADF data result file TAPE21 will have the .t21 extension.
