KIM model name not found

OpenKIM
1

Hello,

I get the error “KIM model name not found” for the potential:
SW_LeeHwang_2012GGA_Si__MO_040570764911_001

Everything runs perfectly for the previous version:
SW_LeeHwang_2012GGA_Si__MO_040570764911_000

So I was wondering whether the 001 version may not be uploaded yet? I installed LAMMPS and openkim with conda (from miniforge), and there was no problem. I also checked other potentials for which it was working.

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

I am guessing you are using the openkim-models package? That package is no longer being updated, since the Conda installation of the KIM API is now able to install models using the kim-api-collections-management utility. For more information see OpenKIM · Obtaining KIM Models · Interatomic Potentials and Force Fields. It will probably work as-is, since the kim-api package is a dependency of openkim-models. If it doesn’t, the first thing to check would be to make sure you have the correct version of the kim-api=2.3.0 package from Conda: OpenKIM · Obtaining KIM Models · Interatomic Potentials and Force Fields

Hello Ilia,

thank you for your help! As you assumed, the kim-api was already installed in my version with openkim-models, and the potential was found after I ran the command “kim-api-collections-management install user SW_LeeHwang_2012GGA_Si__MO_040570764911_001”.

Best,
Daniel
