Errors of performing the dimer calculations

Dear Admin and users,

When I performed the dimer calculation, the following error appeared: "The IMAGES tag should not be set for this implementation of the dimer method". I did not set IMAGES tag, how should I do to correct this error?

Thank you very much.

This error usually means that vasp is being run in a directory without an INCAR file. In my experience, this is often related to issues with mounting file systems to compute nodes or specifics of the queueing system. Try running vasp directly in the directory with the INCAR file to debug this.

Note, I was just pointed to this old post: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=332
