Empty MODECAR

[sungeng]

when I finished a CNEB calculation successfully, then I used the nebresult.pl scripts, there was no problem. But the next step, when I use the neb2dim.pl to generate the files for a new dimer calculation, the MODECAR is empty, why?

Maybe the six line of POSCARs should not contain element name.

I have tried removed the sixth line of element name of POSCARs, but the MODECAR still is empty....

some new information, I have tried the modemake.pl script, it can generate the MODECAR right, so it should be the fault of neb2dim.pl scripts, so how could i modify the scripts.
thank you for help in advance

If you can post a .tar.gz file of the neb run, it will help to debug this and fix the scripts.

This is my neb file which is a calculation for CO dissociation on Rh(111) surface.
Thank you

Something strange is going on. When I run neb2dim.pl in your calculation, it is running fine and I get a MODECAR.

Did you download all of the vtstscripts into a directory from which neb2dim.pl is run?

If yes, do you get any error messages when you run the script?

I just tried to replace my script neb2dim.pl and modemake.pl with the revised ones 835 and 806 by Henkelman group, and now it works well.

And for your questions, when I run the old script, there was no error messages.

thank you for your help

Ok, good to hear Perhaps we need to update our distribution.

I just updated the vtstscripts on our web page. Please check again, and perhaps send me your files if there is still a problem.

Yes. I got MODECAR using the latest scripts. Thanks very much!
