How can I calculate the appropriate RWIGS

Hi,
How can I calculate the appropriate RWIGS (for each atom type) from the completely relaxed structure. Just relax the structure, and then can get the appropriate RWIGS in OUTCAR?

1) relax the structure
2) for the fully relaxed structure, calculate the nearest-neighbor bond
lengths
3) from these RWIGS can be estimated. For heteropolar bonds, I recommend to weight the bonding distance with the covalent (or ionic) radii of the atoms.
