some questions about the TAD & MD

I used shorter damping constant(0.0005) and run 5000 timesteps but I am
getting same temperature( T=1.#QNAN)!!!!

How should I solve this problem?

have you removed the overlapping atoms in your input?
from the input you provided, you are trying to solve the wrong problem.

Dear all
I was able to solve the problem of temperature rise infinitely.
In my sample, the left edge, there is a crack, Now I want to force it, leaving the spread.
I’ve used the fix setforce but only in the top left, little will change!!

Here is new my in.file

See examples/crack/in.crack for a script that does this.

Dear all

I used the fix setforce But did not extend the length of cracks!!!
I’ve increased the number of run, But just leave the lips of crack were opened, and did not increase the length of cracks. Would you mind tell me, how can I do this work!

I hope to be able to give me some suggestions for solving this problem,

Many Thanks

I assume you looked at examples/crack/in.crack as I suggested.
To figure out the difference(s) between a script that
works and one that doesn’t (yours), is something
you have to debug. Try changing one thing at a time,
and monitor the output (thermo, viz) to see when things
change.
