Non-numeric box dimensions - simulation unstable

Hi LAMMPS users ,

Recently I changed my LAMMPS version to lammps-10Feb15 , after that I get " Non-numeric box dimensions - simulation unstable " error !

I did not have this kind of errors before with old versions of LAMMPS and with same data and input files that I use !

please let me know what the problem is .

Thanks a lot .

It has to be a problem with your input. That it worked with an older version means nothing. It could have been simply because of a bug that got fixed since.

Please let us know what your data and input files are, else we can’t help you. It might be related to this: http://lammps.sandia.gov/threads/msg51360.html

Hi ,

I have attached data file with this Email.I made it by moltemplate !

this is a part of my input :

here is the problem. you have two fixes that are changing the box.
this is an error.
