I guess I had forgotten to include a BAROSTAT (this is my first MD) ... now there is no error. After all an NPT_I must have a barostat. Still, now the system runs on only 1 core after about 50 steps (I think when the temperature starts going up) and the calculation is extremely slow. cp2k never needed OMP_NUM_THREADS before and even after I set it it still runs on 1 core. What settings should I change.<div><br /></div><div>Also, the system exploded (the atoms are all over the place) - wasn't NPT supposed to NOT do that ?<br /><div><br /></div><div>This is what I included:</div><div>     &BAROSTAT<br />       PRESSURE     1.0000000000000000E+00<br />       TIMECON    100 <br />    &THERMOSTAT<br />      &NOSE<br />        LENGTH 3<br />        YOSHIDA 3<br />        TIMECON 100.0<br />        MTS 2<br />      &END NOSE<br />    &END<br />     &END BAROSTAT<br /><div><br /></div></div><div>Best Regards,</div><div>Dobromir</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">On Saturday, January 14, 2023 at 12:29:20 AM UTC+2 Dobromir A Kalchevski wrote:<br/></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I'm trying a DFTB NPT_I calculation and I used the tutorial (<a href="https://www.cp2k.org/exercises:2015_cecam_tutorial:mtd1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.cp2k.org/exercises:2015_cecam_tutorial:mtd1&source=gmail&ust=1673781894412000&usg=AOvVaw3FXaN7P6X2CmoCzf2o5rG4">https://www.cp2k.org/exercises:2015_cecam_tutorial:mtd1</a>) to set it up. I get the following error after the 0-th step in the .ener file:<br><br></div><div>Writing TRAJECTORY 1_0 to QD-pos-1.xyz<br><br> *******************************************************************************<br> *   ___                                                                       *<br> *  /   \                                                                      *<br> * [ABORT]                                                                     *<br> *  \___/                             CPASSERT failed                          *<br> *    |                                                                        *<br> *  O/|                                                                        *<br> * /| |                                                                        *<br> * / \                                                   pw/pw_grid_info.F:195 *<br> *******************************************************************************<br><br><br> ===== Routine Calling Stack ===== <br><br>            7 pw_grid_setup<br>            6 pw_env_rebuild<br>            5 qs_env_rebuild_pw_env<br>            4 qs_forces<br>            3 velocity_verlet<br>            2 qs_mol_dyn_low<br>            1 CP2K<br></div><div><br></div><div>Can you please help me out ?</div><div><br></div><div>I am attaching the input and the geometry</div><div><br></div><div>Thanx in advance,</div><div>Dobromir</div></blockquote></div>
