		                        I wanna self answer this question. Just convert the Cartesian coordinate to fractional coordinate. I use the website: 
 
http://cci.lbl.gov/cctbx/frac_cart.html 
 
to convert. 
 
Quote:Chun-hung.wang  Dec 15th 10:49 amHi all, 
When I try to run partial unit cell optimization by plane-wave DFT calculation in NWChem 6.5 by Cascade supercomputer, the atom position is always rearranged. For example, the Zn position will "aggregate" with each other. My system has 272 atoms. In some cases the error message would be like: my atomic distance is too close. Here is my input file:

The error message is like:
   atoms  219  and                    135  are similar 
  atom    219  coordinates   8.25280109501174    2.51446878737748     27.4179707412332

  atoms  221  and                    137  are similar 
  atom    221  coordinates   36.0274472419937    14.4455120450660     16.8622775957722

 minimum distance   0.299951707644571 
 
I've checked my original input file that no two atoms are too close to each other. Why does this happen here? How do I fix that error? Thank you.
