Dear Guangping Zhang,

The error you are finding is related to the TS.ComplexContour.NLine
option. This part of the contour (the length of it) will depend only on
the value of the electronic temperature: the lower the temperature, the
shorter it is. This part of the contour, in the present version of
TranSIESTA, uses some tabulated values (abcissas and weights) that are
not generated "on the fly", and the maximum number of points that can be
used is 11. For the bias part you can use any number of points. So,
change the TS.ComplexContour.NLine from 16 to (max) 11, and it should work.

Best regards,

Frederico.
