I downloded the Ti2.eam.fs potential from Interatomic Potentials Repository
but I couldn’t use this potential
I use this command :
pair_style eam/fs
pair_coeff * * Ti2.eam Ti
but I always got this error “Cannot open EAM potential file Ti2.eam”
how can I fix it?
Is the file Ti2.eam located in the same directory as your input?
yes
That’s surprising, from 11.5. Error messages — LAMMPS documentation :
Cannot open EAM potential file %s → The specified EAM potential file cannot be opened. Check that the path and name are correct.
Are you running LAMMPS on windows?
Are you sure that the file name is Ti2.eam and not Ti2.eam.fs?
The windows file manager does not show by default file extensions. Its configuration needs to be changed or you need to double check the file name in the terminal window.
