CONTCAR and CHGCAR fractional coordinate mismatch

Problems running VASP: crashes, internal errors, "wrong" results.

CONTCAR and CHGCAR fractional coordinate mismatch

#1 Post by zhangyg » Tue Sep 15, 2009 6:05 am

Dear Sir:
I runned a molecular dynamics simulations using vasp 4.6.34 and generated CONTCAR and CHGCAR at the end of the simulation. However, I found the fractional coordinates reported in these two files are different (at the third digit after the point). The fractional coordinates in CONTCAR are the same as the last-step XDATCAR. How does this happen?

Thanks a lot for your kind response.

this should not happen. Please check if you really compare files of the same run.
