Dear all,
I'm attempting to obtain the binding energy between water and Pt surface. To this end, I'm follwing the tuturial (Polymer interactions with a metal oxide surface) and built up the layer. Nonethless, towards the endof tutorial for the geometry optimization of the polymer layer I'm getting the error:
Inconsistencies found in the non-bond energies. Expected: -nan(ind) Found: -nan(ind)
Unable to calculate energy and gradients.
Geometry optimization finished with an error condition.
=========================================================================
I've added Pt atom type to Dreiding and made use of parameters taken from the tabel attached. This error pops up as I wish to optimize water molecule. All Pt atoms are constrained.
Could you shed some light on what this error is trying to say.
Appreciate your comments.
