Elastic Band Method problem
Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 9:41 pm
Hello,
I currently ran a calculation using the elastic band method, but it seems that the first image's calculations finished before the others which we believe caused the other images to quit. The program continued running, but nothing was being calculated. My INCAR file is
PREC = Normal
IBRION = 2
NSW = 300
ISIF = 2
NELM = 200
NELMIN = 2
ENCUT = 250.0
EDIFF = 1.0e-04
EDIFFG = 1.0e-03
GGA = PE
ISTART = 0
ICHARG = 2
LWAVE = .True.
LCHARG = .True.
IALGO = 38
LREAL = Auto
ISMEAR = 1
Sigma = 0.05
IMAGES = 8
NPAR = 4
Any ideas?
