Better ways to get back my optimized cell and structure

[James Dean]

Hello Henrique,

The way I've usually done this is by using OpenBabel to convert from XYZ to 
a VASP file, and then filling in the cell parameters in the VASP file via a 
script that reads the cp2k output to find the current cell parameters. Just 
make sure you save it as a ".vasp" file or VESTA won't know what to do with 
it.

As an alternative, if you're comfortable using Python, the Atomic 
Simulation Environment (ASE) is another way you'd be able to accomplish 
this, as it has tools for file I/O with both xyz and VASP formats.

Best,
James Dean
