NEB vasp calculation - error generating images

Post by dzhang »

Hello there,

I was trying to produce the images with nebmake.pl and got the following error message:

filetype1: vasp5
filetype2: vasp5
Illegal division by zero at /home/****/vtstscripts-915/Vasp.pm line 168.

I have also attached the corresponding initial and final POSCAR files.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much :)

It looks ok to me. I ran:

nebmake.pl POSCAR_i/POSCAR POSCAR_f/POSCAR 5
filetype1: vasp4
filetype2: vasp4

OK, ALL SETUP HERE
FOR LATER ANALYSIS, PUT OUTCARs IN FOLDERS 00 and 06 !!!

and obtained the following images, saved here as a movie.

Thanks a lot! I think I know what went wrong: I specified the directories rather than the corresponding POSCAR files. Thank you a lot again!

Dear Administrator,
I am very new to NEB calculations. Hence I would like to know is there any script for generating POSCAR files for NEB calculations? How can we define intermediate images?

You can use our nebmake.pl which which take arguments of the endpoint structures and the number of intermediate images.
