Dear Joonho,
at first sight there is no error of input, but you don't give
your entire input file.
What are your
LatticeConstant
AtomicCoordinatesFormat
and
NumberOfAtoms
as defined by you and (more important)
recognized by the system? What are the cordinates
printed out in the output file?

Bst regards

Andrei Postnikov
