Hi,
> Thank for your suggestions. i checked my initial structure in xleap,and the result is that the unit is ok. when i used igb=2 instead of igb=1, everything is fine, so i think the structure is reasonable.

....1)EEL is large, but not astronomical, VDWAALS too, EGB is not a number.
2) igb=2 gives something reasonable.
>From these facts, one can tentatively deduce that indeed a group of atoms
is too tightly packed. This can lead to one or more negative effective Born
radii (which can never happen with igb={2,5}, but with igb=1).
To check this, one could do a single evaluation run with "rbornstat=1"
to see whether something fishy (a negative radius) turns up.
Second possibility: one could do some minimizations step with igb=2
and then start with igb=1 and see whether the problem is still there.

good luck
Andreas
