Potential file is missing an entry








Hi all







I am studying the interaction of water and Sio2 solid.



I have been trying to run the small test case before running main simulation.



And I want to use COMB potential for SiO2 crystalline and other potential for interface interaction.



But it showed error messages and I cant find which part is wrong.



(I used ffield.comb file in lammps package.)







I attach my input file and log file below. Please help me. :slight_smile:

ERROR: Potential file is missing an entry






The 1st error is b/c your pair coeff command does
not list an entry for all 4 (or more) atom types.

The 2nd error is b/c you are using Null instead
of NULL, and it is looking for element Null in
the potential file.

I suggest you read the comb doc page carefully.
