SOLVED:Error in the input file for bandstructure calculation

Post by hisap-nano » Sun Dec 18, 2011 4:30 am

hello, i am a new about ABINIT, is there anyone who can kindly help me solve the problem about the input file for the bandstructure calculation of metal Be.
at first, the structure was optimized, and then bandstructure was calculated based on the optimized structure.
according to this consideration, i wrote a input file, but it does not seem to work and no expected bandstructure data output. the bandstructuremaker said that the dataset 2 is not completed. i will be very appreciated if someone know where is the problem and how to solve it.
the following are the input file and error description
input file:
ndtset 2

Hi,

Solving your problem would require knowing why Abinit didn't properly run the second part of your calculation. In order to help you with this, I would need you to post you .out (or .log) file on the forum.

Please change the title of your initial post to add "[solved]". You might also state what was wrong and fixed...
