Dear CP2K users,

I would like to use CP2K to read cif file for the simulation cell and coordinates,
Therefore, my input file looks like:
      &CELL
         CELL_FILE_FORMAT CIF
         CELL_FILE_NAME input
.cif
     
&END CELL
     
&TOPOLOGY
          COORD_FILE_FORMAT CIF
          COORD_FILE_NAME input
.cif
     
&END TOPOLOGY

While,  CP2K complains that:

 
*******************************************************************************
 
*   ___                                                                       *

 * /

6 val_create_parsing
           
5 section_vals_parse
           
4 section_vals_parse
 
*  O/|                          

So, what is the reason for the error? does it relate to the input file? or CP2K compiling?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best,

Geng

Dear Geng,

What version of CP2K are you running? For cell parameters, the .cif file format is only a possible option in the development version (7.0). Version 6.1 and older do not support .cif files in the &CELL section. The atomic coordinates should be fine, though, as .cif is accepted there.

Yours sincerely,
Patrick Gono

Hello Patrick,

Thank you very much.
I was using CP2K v6.1, so that is the problem.

Best,

Geng
