[DFTB-Plus-User] Missing child: SlaterKosterfiles while running modes.

[Ben Hourahine]

Hello Siddheshwar,

The modes_in.hsd file has some errors, Try:


Geometry= Genformat {ATOM COORDS...}

SlaterKosterFiles = Type2FileNames {
    Prefix = "./"
    Separator = "-"
    Suffix = ".skf"
    LowerCaseTypeName = No
}

Hessian {
    <<< "hessian.out"
}

DisplayModes{
    PlotModes= 1:-1
    Animate= Yes
    XMakeMol= Yes
}


The Hamiltonian and the angular momentum is only relevant to DFTB+ (and
was being ignored, so removing the SK block for modes).

Regards

Ben
