This program will compute the Grimme D3-dispersion energy for a set of atomic Cartesian coordinates. This version implements both versions of short-range damping that appear in the literature (i.e., zero-damping and Becke-Johnson damping) provided the required parameters are specified manually, or the density functional can be automatically recognized from a Gaussian formatted output file - in which case default values will be used. This program was developed to analyze interatomic and intermolecular dispersion energies within the D3-scheme: if two molecules are recognized based on the interatomic connectivity then it is possible to ignore intramolecular terms.
If a density functional is not recognizable from the input/output file it will be necessary to specify the desired damping parameters. For zero-damping three terms (S6, S8 and RS6) are required. For Becke-Johnson damping four (S6, S8, A1, A2) are required.
The 3-body Axilrod-Teller-Muto 3-body dispersion terms can be switched on (they are not computed by default)
This program is no longer actively developed. Usage is now recommended through the GoodVibes program, where download of these files is necessary for this to function.
