Abnormal things in elastic constants calculation using COMB

Dear all,

When I calculate Hafnium elastic constants using the input file from example/ELASTIC with COMB potential, the job stops studdenly without any error and no elastic information output. However, I also ask some other guys to run the same input file in different machine and it can generate reasonable results.

Can it be due to the compiling of LAMMPS?

Could someone help me with this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hard to say without knowing how you compiled it and on what platform.

More likely is that you have a version where there were some bugs in the pair style.
