Dear Tran and Gavin

I followed your recommendations as follows


1- File name: .dftd3.par.localhost

2- File location: /home/osama

3- File content: 1.0 0.538 0.0 5.42 0.0 4

4- case.indftd3:

method     bj
func       none
grad       yes
pbc        yes
abc        yes
cutoff     95
cnthr      40
num        no


The run gives:


>   stop error

>   dftd3       (16:48:34)
>   struct2poscar       (16:48:34)
-------- .machine0 : 3 processors
>   lapw0 -dftd3 -p     (16:48:31) starting parallel lapw0 at Wed Dec 27 16:48:31 +03 2017

    cycle 1     (Wed Dec 27 16:48:31 +03 2017)  (40/99 to go)

    start       (Wed Dec 27 16:48:31 +03 2017) with lapw0 (40/99 to go)


using WIEN2k_17.1 (Release 30/6/2017) in /home/osama/Wien2k171
on localhost.localdomain with PID 24331

8 was a typo. Explanations about the name of the file are here:
https://www.chemie.uni-bonn.de/pctc/mulliken-center/software/dft-d3/man.pdf
For SCAN, the file contains
1.0 0.538 0.0 5.42 0.0 4

and in the 2nd line of case.indftd3, "default" has to be replaced
by "none".
