Hi All,

I want to use the antiseed technique to penalize a particular structure for a fixed composition calculation from a particular generation (say 6). For that, I put the structure in the Antiseed folder with the name POSCARS_6 and then restarted the calculation but the Antiseed did not read and the same structure repeated in the next generation. To check I further started a new calculation from scratch with the structure in the Antiseed folder with the name POSCARS_1 or POSCARS but in both the cases the seeds have been added but not the antiseed. The meassage in the log file is:

Read Seeds ...

seed number 1 has been successfully added
seed number 2 has been successfully added
seed number 3 has been successfully added
seed number 4 has been successfully added
seed number 5 has been successfully added
seed number 6 has been successfully added
seed number 7 has been successfully added
seed number 8 has been successfully added

End of pickup Seeds
Read AntiSeeds ...

ans =

    14


ans =

    87

Job <477129> is submitted to queue <short_sdb>.


Should I specify anything extra in the INPUT.txt file to use the Antiseed?

I have the same issue. How did you fix the issue? Does it even print in the log file or we are assuing it for AntiSeeds? Of course, It prints Seeds information in the log file, if we provide POSCARS_1 etc., in Seeds directory.
