I typically get this error when I fail to append the file with positions. I'm not sure this is the error you get if you indicate a wrong number of atoms. check that too.<div><br></div><div>hope this helps.</div><div><br></div><div>Matteo</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div>On Thu, Jul 21, 2016 at 9:03 AM, Md Mahabul Islam <span dir="ltr"><<a href="javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','mhblslm59@gmail.com');" target="_blank">mhblslm59@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi pwscf users & developers,<br></div>I am trying to relax a silver atom with vacancy but while reading the input file I am gettingĀ "wrong number of columns in Atomic positions error".The atomic positions were created from Xcrysden for 2x2x2 supercell (asymmetric unit).<br></div>Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated.<br></div>Thank you,<br clear="all"><div><div><div><div><div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><b>Md Mahabul Islam</b></span><br><i>PhD Candidate</i><br></div><div dir="ltr"><i>Department of Physics,<br></i></div><div><i>Indian Institute of Technology Madras,<br>Chennai-600036, India<br></i><span>Mobile- <a href="tel:%2B91%209087297118" value="+919087297118" target="_blank">+91 9087297118</a>/<a href="tel:%2B91-9593148106" value="+919593148106" target="_blank">+91-9593148106</a></span><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
