error in relaxation

Post by Wafa Maftuhin » Thu Jan 29, 2015 7:21 am

dear all

i'm a newbie, i tried to calculate optimation structure (relaxation) of doping silicene. The calculation stop before finish with following error message in log file :
=================

ioarr: reading density data
ioarr: file name is tbase3_4xi_DS1_DEN
====================

and in output file :

============
...
P newkpt: treating 40 bands with npw= 85621 for ikpt= 49 by node 0
P newkpt: treating 40 bands with npw= 85657 for ikpt= 50 by node 0
newkpt: prtvol=0 or 1, do not print more k-points.
===========


what does the message mean? what should I do?

below is my input file :

Hi!

I don't know the answer, but I'm 99% sure that you could find it by searching the forum archive. Maybe you should even start with the old mailing list first.

Best regards,

Igor L.
