Under Castep section in Material studio software, if we go to analysis tab I am unable to access the PDOS option of the Density of states tab.I can only access the total DOS however PDOS is disabled. Does anyone know how to enable it?
Have you copied all the files back from the server? You'll need the pdos_weights file, in particular. You also have to make sure that the correct model is selected within Materials Studio.
First thing is while doing DOS calculation there is a option for PDOS click it before calculation. Secondly If you have already given PDOS calculation and unable to access it, before doing PDOS analysis you should click on the .xsd document and then go to dos analysis. If the atomistic document is not activated in the working window it will not activate PDOS option. Hope this will solve your problem.
I also faced the same problem and finally found the reason why PDOS was disabled. At first, you do not change the file name (Usually, the file name is '3D Atomistic CASTEP Properties' after completing the program successfully and keep this name) then go to xsd file then go to analyze option and select Density of State. Hopefully, PDOS option will be active. Bhrigumoni Deka
You must check the PDOS box when selecting DOS calculation. After that, if you successfully completed DOS calculation but unable to find PDOS then before doing PDOS analysis you should click on the .xsd document and select the Density of states.
