USPEX 10.3: EX1: files not found

[stefan.bec...@gmail.com]

Hello

To test the installation of USPEX 10.3, I tried EX1 (using VASP) using the provided script EX01-3D_Si_vasp.sh.

From time to time, it shows: 

Warning: File 'Fitness_vs_N.pdf' not found.

> In makeFigures (line 41)

  In WriteGenerationOutput_300 (line 26)

  In EA_300 (line 34)

  In Start (line 52)

  In USPEX (line 39)

Fitness_vs_N.pdf is the only file not present in results1/ or reference/.

Other files shown as "not found" are E_series.pdf, Energy_vs_N.pdf, Enthalpy_vs_Volume.pdf and Variation-Operators.pdf, but these four files are present in both results1/ and reference/ ...

What can be done about it?

At a given moment, it shows 

USPEX IS DONE!

But after 300 sec of sleep (part of EX01-3D_Si_vasp.sh), USPEX restarts and shows:

Warning: File 'POSCAR' not found.

> In USPEXDone (line 4)

  In Start (line 60)

  In USPEX (line 39)

Warning: File 'POSCAR_order' not found.

> In USPEXDone (line 5)

  In Start (line 60)

  In USPEX (line 39)

USPEX IS DONE!

and this goes on forever, every 300 sec, until I stopped the script. What's wrong with the missing POSCAR and POSCAR_order and what can be done about it such that the script actually stops when it says "USPEX IS DONE!"

Thanks!

Stefan

Hi,

The warnings are not important you can ignore them.

This is your script that runs USPEX over and over again. You must kill the script manually or write a script that kills itself when USPEX is done.

The simple example is like: 

while [ ! -f ./USPEX_IS_DONE ]
do
  USPEX -r >>  log ; sleep 300
done
