[Pw_forum] weird error when computing phonons

[Pascal BOULET]

Dear all,

I have been calculating the phonons (QE 5.0.2) on a 6x6x6(=28) grid of q-points. There are 15 irreps and 5 atoms in the structure. Everything has gone fine until q-point 22, but q-point 23 has failed with error message:

Error in routine phq_setup (1):
     problem with modes file

I have tried to "recover" the calculations but without success. Hence, I am now calculating q-points 23-28 with the start-q/last-q option, and it seems to work (so far: 2nd irrep of q-point 23 in under way).

Have you ever encounted such a problem?


Thank you for your help.
Best regards
Pascal
