Cameron,
Uploading your CIF to (even before Shelly's edits) to Larixite gives:
https://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/larixite/cifs/NEW_Cerianite.cif
and does generate Feff input files. When I load your file into Larix, it
generates feffNNN.dat files for me.
I suspect that you are using Larix that has not been updated. There was a
brief period in which Feff would run but not generate feffNNN.dat files.
This is fixed with 2025.1.1 (more than a month ago). You should have seen
notices that updates were available. I bet if you run an update, this
will get fixed.
Please learn to ask questions that
a) Show what you did. Like, what version of the software you used, and
what CIF file you used.
b) Explain what you expected to see.
c) Show what you actually observed. Like, show us whatFeff.inp file was
generated. and what messages running Feff gave.
