ERROR on proc 19: Neighbor list overflow, boost neigh_modify one

OpenKIM

Hi every,

I want to simulate the volume vs pressure (or temperature) in Al using the LennardJones612_UniversalShifted__MO_959249795837_003 model in the openkim. The error occurs in the process as follow: ERROR on proc 19: Neighbor list overflow, boost neigh_modify one (…/npair_full_bin_atomonly.cpp:90).

If you can give me some advice I would be very grateful.

Hello Quang,

This model has a very large neighbor list cutoff. Due to the fact that it supports all species in the periodic table.

So, you need to tell lammps to increase the maximum number of neighbors allowed for a single atom. This is done by adding a “neigh_modify one nnn” command with nnn replaced by a sufficiently large integer. See

https://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/neigh_modify.html

For more details.

Hi Ryan,

Thank you very much. The input file works fine. This model is very good.
