Dear

*Karim Elgammal,*


*  Thank you for your reply. I am not switching from fixed to tetrahedra
method, both the methods were used separately.  I want to use tetrahedra
method to calculate the DOS.  When use the occupations=tetrahedra,  I am
getting the above specified error. *

*Regards*

Dear Users and Experts,

    I am using QE v.6.1.  I ran DOS calculation for Silicon using
Occupations='fixed' in 'scf' and 'nscf' calculations and it was finished
successfully and dos output file is created. However, when I used
occupations='tetrahedra' in nscf (both scf and nscf), the dos.x calculation
was  terminated with the following error (I have tried for couple of
systems apart from Si). Now, my question is how to use
occupations='tetrahedra' in scf and nscf calculations to compute the DOS
for any system. Input files are attached.
