Hi all,

I'm doing a spin-orbit calculation for slab structure, but always I got the following errors:

internal error in ORTH1: dim= 1441 1280

I found such error message comes from vasp source file "dfast.F"--
IF (NSTRIP+NPOS-1 > NBANDS) THEN
WRITE(*,*)'internal error in ORTH1: dim=',NSTRIP+NPOS,NBANDS
STOP
ENDIF

From here I increased the value of "NBANDS" in INCAR since from here it seems like my NBANDS is too small, but still the error appeared because NSTRIP+NPOS-1 also increase somehow such that "NSTRIP+NPOS-1 > NBANDS",

I searched for similar posts from this site, but no one had the same problem before.

Can anyone have some suggestions on this problem? Thanks a lot.
