LAMMPS users,
When I try to model an Si O system with the SiO.sw potential, I get an error saying:
Incorrect format in Stillinger-Weber potential file.
What can I do to correct the SW potential file? Correct me if I am wrong but it seems the problem is with the file, and not my input given the error message.

hi ben,
LAMMPS users,
When I try to model an Si O system with the SiO.sw potential, I get an error
saying:Incorrect format in Stillinger-Weber potential file.
What can I do to correct the SW potential file? Correct me if I am wrong but
it seems the problem is with the file, and not my input given the error
message.
first off, i have to commend you for a concise description of your
problem and drawing a proper and correct conclusion from your
observations.
at this point the only way to move forward is to have a look at the
source code and check what condition is triggering this message.
there is only one block of code that matches. what it does is to
concatenate lines until you have the necessary 14 words per line.
so you have to check your parameter file whether it matches this requirement.

Note that SiO.sw is not part of the LAMMPS distro.
So depending on where you got it and who created it,
that is likely the problem.
