An error: 'ERRORL2 in cp_parser_methods:parser_get_real' how to solve?

[Enlong Liu]

Thank you very much, Matt!

In fact, I have already finished 3D simulation of both geo_opt and 
cell_opt. But my mentor thinks it is not efficient to do the cell_opt in 3D 
for CNT since only the periodicity in z direction is enough. So he asked me 
to just do the geo_opt and cell_opt in 1D, i.e. just optimize LZ in z 
direction. So I need to do geo_opt in 1D firstly and cell_opt after that, 
only with one parameter LZ.

I will try again to do some modifications.

Best regards,
