Hi,

I want to carry out a structure relaxation on sigma5 ZrO2 grain boundary
system. When I run my input file, it shows an error message: Error in
routine iosys (1): invalid dual?
I can't figure out what is wrong. Would you please help me with that?
I paste my input parameters in the following (I omit most of atom positions
here because there are 468 atoms in total).

Thank you!
