Users Group Meeting 2009
Oct 21-23 2009, Washington DC
Each year, Materials Design invites our customers to 3 days of training and scientific exchange.
The 2009 meeting had a strong competition with wonderful museums in walking distance,
but all sessions were full (at least we overheard participants discussing their plans for visiting museums after the meeting.)
The training workshop focused on the many new features of VASP5: hybrid functionals, linear response, and the integration with MedeA - to get a better description of materials.
The scientific presentations clustered around
- higher precision (VASP5, GW method),
- bigger systems (Peridynamics, Grain boundaries, amorphous systems, forcefields) and
- understanding materials properties, such as Mg for automotive applications
