Metadynamics does not run, error: DYNCONSTR%%HILLS_METHOD

#1 Post by psriv » Thu Feb 25, 2016 2:25 pm

Dear VASP Admin and users,

I'm trying to do metadynamics simulations. I installed VASP5.3.3 with -Dtbdyn option in CPP. But when I run the jobs it gets killed with the following error.

KCHF446R segmentation violation occurred.

My INCAR file
SYSTEM = M

IBRION = 0
POTIM = 1.0
PREC = medium
IWAVPR = 12

ALGO = Fast
LDIAG = .TRUE.

NELM = 40
NELMIN = 4
NELMDL = 0
EDIFF = 0.0001

LREAL= Auto
#
ISTART = 0
ICHARG = 2

NWRITE = 1

NSW = 50000
NBLOCK = 1
KBLOCK = 50000

# For temperatures close to Tm, increase SIGMA
ISMEAR = 0
SIGMA = 0.2
SMASS = 0
TEBEG = 500.0
TEEND = 500.0

NPAR = 8

# metadynamics tags

MDALGO = 21
HILLS_BIN = 10
HILLS_H = 0.01
HILLS_W = 0.01
STATUS = 5
LBLUEOUT=.TRUE.
#--------------- save memory--------------

ISYM = 0
LCHARG = .FALSE.
LELF = .FALSE.
LWAVE = .FALSE.
====================================
My ICONST file :
R 62 136 5
R 38 139 5
R 14 142 5
R 30 143 5
R 54 140 5
R 78 137 5
R 46 141 5
R 22 144 5
R 70 138 5
R 14 121 0
R 38 103 0
R 54 109 0
R 30 127 0
R 78 91 0
R 22 133 0
R 46 115 0
R 62 85 0
=======================================

If anyone can guess what is the problem and how I can solve it. Without ICONST file it run with same executable.

TIA.

Best regards,
PS

You are mixing the metadynamics (MDALGO = 21) with the calculation of the free-energy gradient.
Consult your computational model with the author of the metadynamics (Tomas Bucko).

Dear VASP Admin,

Thank you for your reply. But the same input files (MDALGO = 21 & LBLUEOUT=.TRUE.) work on other machines.

Best regards,
Pooja
