Hi,

@Maxim
that solves the problem! Thank you very much for the prompt answer!

@Harish
I have tried it but without the "package require nanotube" doesn't work

Thank you both of you for your time,
Best Regards,
Michalis

Hi Michail,

Add the following command in the beginning of your graphene.tcl:
