error message

Dear lammps users,

Could you please explain this error warning to me? ERROR: Expected floating point parameter in input script or data file (…/minimize.cpp:39). Perhaps the correlated input script is “min_style cg; minimize 1.0e-4 1.0e-6 100 1000”, what can be the error with these two lines?

thank you very much!

Michelle

Dear lammps users,

Could you please explain this error warning to me? ERROR: Expected
floating point parameter in input script or data file
(../minimize.cpp:39). Perhaps the correlated input script is "min_style
cg; minimize 1.0e-4 1.0e-6 100 1000", what can be the error with these
two lines?

​they work for me.​ check your input file carefully, whether all characters
are ASCII characters. sometimes when using cut and paste from a webbrowser
or PDF viewer, those may be replaced by UTF-8 characters which LAMMPS does
not recognize.

please also consider the suggestions in the mailing list guidelines.

the easier you make it, i.e. the more useful and complete information you
provide, the better your chances to get help.

thank you for your sincere help.

No. The error is caused by the minimize command.
