Hi all,
I am new to NEB calculation. I am trying to do ss-neb calculation using vasp4.6 but the program get terminated and it shows the following message:

ERROR: the following files does not exist 01/POSCAR
My INCAR file is given below:

SYSTEM = TiO2
NWRITE = 1
ISTART = 0

ENCUT = 400
PREC = HIGH
EDIFF = 1E-05
EDIFFG = -1E-03

LCORR = T
IBRION = 3
NSW = 100
ISYM = 0

ISMEAR = 0; SIGMA = .01
IALGO = 38
LDIAG = T
LREAL = F

LNEBCELL = T
ISIF=3
IOPT =3
NPAR = 2

I have kept initial and final POSCAR file in 00 and 02 folder. I do not understand the problem. Please help me.

You can use the nebmake.pl script to generate an initial linear path. This will provide the missing 01/POSCAR file.
