So there are two strides that I have encountered in CP2K, which is confusing.<div><br></div><div>Stride in &REFTRAJ: STRIDE 8 indicates to take <i>TIME STEPS</i> 1, 9, 17, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>Stride in &E_DENSITY_CUBE: STRIDE 1 1 1 indicates to skip no <i>MESH locations</i>, but 2 2 2 would take every 2nd in x, y, z.</div><div><br></div><div>There is no need for the .cube if you output .bqb, but you will need either TRAVIS or bqbtool to read it.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">On Wednesday, June 8, 2022 at 7:17:28 AM UTC+2 mhvg...@gmail.com wrote:<br/></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Hi Sam,<div><br></div><div>I'm not quite sure if I understand...</div><div><br></div><div>I understood the stride to be more like the 'resolution' of the electron density.

Again, my main concern is the memory requirements...</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your help!</div><div><br></div><div>Matthew</div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">On Tuesday, June 7, 2022 at 10:39:38 PM UTC+8 <a href data-email-masked rel="nofollow">wave...@gmail.com</a> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi Matthew<div><br></div><div>So if you use the TRAVIS program, you can skip Voronoi in cp2k.
