Hello everybody,
I'm following Pyxaid's tutorial1 of and, I'm stuck in the step 2. Maybe someone could help me.

Using py-scr2.py I create the the folders with the inputs and submission script to split out 250 fs trajectory into 25 pieces 10 fs, but when I run these calculations (in wd/job0, for example) qespresso.out shows the following error:

Reading filewd_test/curr0/x0.export/in
dex.xml
Error: Can not open file wd_test/curr0/x0.export/index.xml
Reading filewd_test/curr0/x0.export/wfc.1
Error: Can not open file wd_test/curr0/x0.export/wfc.1
Number of K-points = 0
/usr/local/admin/torque/mom_priv/jobs/36969.arina.SC: line 56:  3085 Segmentation fault      python -c "from PYXAID import *

And indeed the file
wd_test/curr0/x0.export/index.
xml
does not exist, the correct folder is
wd_test/curr0/next0/x0.export/
index.xml

Also, the segmentation fault is usually a memory problem, but I could not solve it problem increasing the memory.
I attach here the output file and my submission script.
Does somebody has any suggestion?

Thanks,
Elisa

Hi Elisa,
It seems like these may be errors associated with the QE calculations. Can you please check separately if the pw.x and pw_export.x works for your input files?
regards,
Nijam

Hi Elisa,

You may need to make the following changes:

in ..../step2/submit_templ.slm/

exe_export=  [ HERE, YOU SHOULD PROVIDE THE PATH TO THE CORRECT QE VERSION ]

for example, I use QE v 6.2, therefore, mine looks like

exe_export=/util/academic/espresso/6.1/bin/pw_export.x

The QE version may have changed, and you are using a path which no longer exists.

Oops, meant I use version 6.1

Best,

Hi Elisa,

Make sure your QE calculations have converged. If they didn't, you may be missing the necessary output (xml) files. 

Best,
Alexey

Hello again,
It seems that the problem was related to the QE version. I was using 6.1 version and I had the mentioned problem.
Now, with QE 6.0 version the problem seems to be solved!
Thanks everybody!
