Re: [QE-users] QE didn't generate output files in scf calculation

2020-11-30 Thread M.Golmoammadi
yes, I renamed that file and I had scf.out but it was completely empty.
Thanks for your advice. Definitely I try working in BURAI as what you
recommended.

[QE-users] Error wrong ibrav

2020-11-30 Thread Diship Srivastava
Hi,
I am doing band calculation for FeOOH unit cell. During band
calculation I am getting following error :

 Error in routine find_bz_type (1):
 Wrong ibrav

I used the same input file to do scf  and nscf run which turn out to be fine.
 Any suggestions on how to remove this error. I am using v.6.5 . Input
