Re: AIM topology map in VMD

Please make sure
1: You have very carefully followed this tutorial step by step:
Using Multiwfn with VMD to quickly and easily plot high quality atoms-in-molcules (AIM) topology map

2: You are using latest version of Multiwfn, namely Multiwfn 3.7(dev)
3: The path of input file and the VMD directory in the .bat file is indeed correct.
4: The input file can be normally loaded into Multiwfn to perform topology analysis.

If you are still unable to successfully run the script, please enter the cmd interface (i.e. console window) of Windows system, then go to the Multiwfn folder, then input "AIM.bat" command to run the script, and see which information will be shown on screen. If you find the script doesn't finished normally, please upload a screenshot of the cmd window.
