[DFTB-Plus-User] Failure in diagonalisation routine zhegvd

[. Juita]

Dear Balint,

Thank you so much for your advise.
I will re-check the parameters and geometry.

Best regards,
Juita

However, it stopped with the error message: "Failure in diagonalisation routine ZHEEVR, unable to complete Cholesky factorization of B    217".  It occured at the beginning of the geometry step 2.

Then it is highly probably, that your MD results in a very unphysical
configuration. Maybe your initial speeds are to high (if you initialize
velocities) or your temperature is too high. Check the geometry, which
fails, whether it makes sense at all.
