[QE-users] PAW Pesudo Problems with Molecular Dynamics (cp.x)

Dear QE users,


I got some problems using PAW pesudo with Carl-Parrinalo Molecular Dynamics (cp.x) in Quantum Espresso. The program keeps saying "PAW not implemented". The errors and input files are attached below.


This problem only occurs in cp.x, the same pseudo files just work fine with pw.x. I tried to change the pseudo into NORMCONS and cp.x works fines.


Is this my mistakes or cp.x does not support PAW yet?


I appreciate any help and recommendations


Best Regards
