    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">case.joint has a specific format.&nbsp; You
      did not respect that format.<br>
      <br>
      For example, x kram expects to read NCOL (number of columns) and
      VOL (volume) in the first line of case.joint, which I believe are
      both real numbers.&nbsp; Check the case.joint created by the standard
      technique, it should look similar to:<br>
      <br>
      #2&nbsp; Vol = 317.0844741231<br>
      <br>
      In your email, it looks like the first line in your case.joint
      file is:<br>
      <br>
      xx<br>
      <br>
      This line doesn't have the expected two real numbers, just
      characters, so it probably results in the "input conversion
      error".&nbsp; You should check the formatting of the other lines in the
      file as well. If your know Fortran code, you can also search and
      look at the "read(10" lines in SRC_kram/kram.f.<br>
