maximum number of atoms

Post by zchen10 » Mon Jun 14, 2010 6:30 pm

I tried to calculate a molecule with 219 atoms. I got the error message said more than 132 columns are used in typat. Does this mean the maximum number of atoms the molecule can have is 132?

Hello,

No there is no maximum for the number of atoms (or maybe there is but a lot more than 219). Your problem is probably due to your input file. I guess you put everything on one line. Put it on many lines instead like in the following :
typat 1 1 2 2 3 3 3
3 3 3 3 4 4 5 5
5 5 5 5 5 6 6 6
