Hi everyone,
     Sorry for asking so many problems, but I am helpless for the problem is
always happened when I want to calculate a voltage as small as 0.01 V.
I was using Transiesta to calculate an I-V curve, but whenever my voltage is
less than 0.01V, the Transiesta would quit out automatically at the part of
"----- DISTRIBUTION OF ENERGY POINTS AMONG PROCESSORS -----".
When I set the voltage as 0.01 V, it will come up with some "****"  at the
row of Read-ins and the "Total no. points to read:" is strange. It should be
"Total no. points to read:    94          94" if the calculation is right.
The following part is cut off from the output file, I've underlined the
strange parts with red color.

Apart from this, I'd tried the 0.001 V , but it was automatically regard as
0 V in the calculation.

I compare the output file of 0.001V and 0V , find that both of them have the
same "DISTRIBUTION OF ENERGY POINTS AMONG PROCESSORS" as following:


   42  energy points

........

I thought that N meaning none voltage.

I am upset with the problem for a long time.

Waiting for your helps.

Thanks !
