Any suggests about LAMMPS Error:"ERROR on proc 0: Bond atoms % % missing on proc 0 at step % (src/ntopo_bond_all.cpp:60)"?

Hello to all,
I'm using REAXFF force field to build a PE model including bonds information. However, the system feedbacks with “ERROR on proc 0: Bond atoms 12 13 missing on proc 0 at step 10692 (src/ntopo_bond_all.cpp:60)”. Could anybody help with this? Thanks in advance.

I think your problem is because you didn't specify the minimization criteria. You only wrote minimization style in your input script, which is cg.

I dont think you should provide bond details with potentials like reax
and charge equilibration is also not set
Reax is a rective potentials which means it can perform bond creations and removal on its own

Your question and also the error you are receiving are very general and may have different causes! Besides, as I checked your input file, you have multiple ensembles in your input file. May I know where in the input file you end up with the error? Generally, errors like this are most likely relevant to the large atom displacements such that the atoms in the bond leave the processor domain. As a result, the bond misses in the corresponding processor. I suggest you check for the physics of your problem to see if you are likely to encounter unphysically large force magnitudes.

Would you mind further explaining the charge equilibration process? I think they are already set in the data file.

Hello Meisam Meisam Adibifard ,
Thanks for the explaining. The problem happens in NVT and NVE ensemble. Any suggestions with how to check the Physics?

Haofan Sun I would say check boundary conditions. You currently use "boundary f f f" which means some atoms will be lost if they cross the boundary. You may try using "boundary s s s" which is still non-priodic but allows the boundary to move.

I am trying to run nemd shock simulation on water through momentum mirror technique with tip4p flexible potential. Errors originated due to change of periodic boundary to fixed condition along shock propagation direction (here along Z). First error was tip4p hydrogen missing which I sorted out with help of pbc wrap command in VMD as suggested by Axel Sir. The molecules with fragments on other side were identified and slightly shifted in order to occupy completely inside box. This does not affect the density or initial temp. of 300K. Next error was regarding the use of kspace style pppm/tip4p which is only applicable for periodic boundary conditions. This was sorted with help of kspace_modify slab command applicable for p p f boundary condition. Further errors were Angle atoms 2576 2577 2578 missing on proc 19. I was introducing a gap of 2 nm between molecules and walls of reflection in order to prevent from unsteady shock. As the gap was removed, angle atoms missing error was sorted out. I don’t know the reason behind it. It was just a trial result. Now I am facing same type of error of “bond missing atoms on proc 0 at step 65” along with “out of range atoms-cannot compute pppm”. I tried with different timestep but result is same. Also this can’t be due to multiprocessor simulation as I had tried it with 1 cpu also. I had followed many Lammps threads regarding above mentioned errors.
