Hi,
 If I interpret correctly the problem is that the Geometry{} block has been removed in newest versions, so please remove it from your input. The parser expects Device in the Transport block.Thanks for signaling this problem.
Regards,
Alessandro

Oggetto: [DFTB-Plus-User] negf calculation 

Dear dftb+ specialist
I am trying to do my first dftb+ negf calculation.However, I get an error I don't know how to resolve. 
I am running a test using the input files provided for the Silicon nanowire example. When I try to calculate the contact hamiltonian I get thefollowing:
ERROR!-> Missing child: DevicePath: dftb_in/TransportLine: 6-23 (File: dftb_in.hsd)
What is the meaning of the above error message?
I am grateful for your help
Regards
Theodoros
ps: I am attaching my input file below
