 +In addition to the list of eigenvalues ( printed directly in the output file) a series of *.cube files is generated. \\
 +The number of cubes strictly depends on what you have specified in the PRINT_MO section. No extra files are generated (while in the output a default list of all the occupied MOs eigenvalues is anyway produced.)  \\
 +∗.cube files report the structure of a given MO and can be visualized with VMD:
  
 +  * To run vmd: vmd ethene-WFN_00008_1-1_0.cube
 +  * To visualize the molecule (sometimes the default settings are not visible with VMD in Brutus):\\    Graphics > Representations > Draw style > Drawing Method: CPK
 +  * To visualize the MO structure in VMD:\\    Graphics > Representations > Draw style > Drawing Method: Isosurfaces 
 +  * In  Isosurfaces, set Draw to "Wireframe" (other formats may not be visible with VMD in Brutus)
 +  * In Isosurfaces, set Isovalue to 0.1, 0.01 ...
 +  * To visualize the positive and the negative part of an orbital simultaneously, add a second isosurface representation with isovalues -0.1, -0.01, ...
 +  * To give the two representations different colors, set their "Coloring Method" to "ColorID" and choose different ids.
 +
 +What you get should look similar to this:

 +- By using VMD, identify the shape and energy of the π and π* orbitals.
