Abstract  With modified analytical embedded-atom method and molecular dynamics simulation, this paper simulates the strain energy and the  equilibrium core structure of $a\langle 100 \rangle$ edge dislocation in BCC metal iron on atomistic scale. In addition, the  trapping effect of dislocation on vacancy is investigated as well. The results show that the equilibrium dislocation core is quite  narrow and has a $C_{2v} $ symmetry structure. Calculated strain energy $E_s$ of the dislocation is a linear function of $\ln  (R/2b)$ while $R\ge 5.16$~{\AA} (1 Å=0.1 nm), in excellent agreement with the elasticity theory prediction. Determined core radius and energy are 5.16~{\AA} and 0.62~eV/{\AA}, respectively. The closer the vacancy to the dislocation line  is, the lower the vacancy formation energy is, this fact implies that the dislocation has a trend to trap the vacancy, especially  for a separation distance of the vacancy from dislocation line being less than two lattice constants.
