Geometry changes: ADFmovie

ADF has optimized the geometry, and we can use the ADFmovie module to visualize the progress of the optimization. So let's start ADFmovie:

scm

Select the SCM → Movie command in ADFinput (the SCM menu is the SCM logo)

The ADFmovie module will display a movie of the geometry optimization.

movie

To step through the different geometries, use the slider below the picture. Clicking in the slider will single step through the frames. Or you can grab the slider and move to the frame you wish.

You can control playing with the buttons. When your mouse pointer is above any of the buttons, and not moving, a balloon will pop up showing what that particular button will do.

To rotate, translate, or zoom the picture, use your mouse, just as in ADFinput.

Select the two carbons and oxygen atom by shift-clicking on them
Use the slider to go to a frame in the middle of the optimization

angle

Selecting atoms provides information about atoms, bonds, etc. The information will be updated when you go to another point in the movie (a different geometry).

In the ADFmovie window: select File → Quit
