[Wannier] Vasp-Wannier Function

Dear Ceren,

as the error message says:
*Error: examine the output/error file for details*

Did you check the output file? Are your Wannier functions converged? 
What does the Transport module prints on output?
If the Wannier functions are unconverged, the (automatically calculated) 
value for tran_num_bb will be wrong, possibly causing your error.

 From your output, it seems that you are trying to reproduce example13 
of Wannier90, but you have a different number of Wannier functions, and 
you do not provide initial projections (and you do not have 
disentanglement), so I would guess that you may not have found the 
proper WFs.

Moreover, if the pseudopotentials that VASP uses are different from the 
one provided in Wannier90 for Quantum ESPRESSO, remember that most 
probably you will also have to adapt the energies.

Best,
Giovanni
