Macroscopic polarization calculation (LCALCPOL = .TRUE.)

[ynwu]

Sorry for the repeating thread in bugreports.

Dear all,

I am trying to do test of macroscopic polarization test calculation as described in the manual. However, my OUTCAR does not have the following lines from the manual:

Ionic dipole moment: p[ion]=

Total electronic dipole moment: p[elc]=

Instead, I got:
Total macroscopic dipole moment: p[mac]=

What is the problem here?

My INCAR file:

System = NaF
#ISTART = 0
#ICHARG = 11
NSW = 0
IBRION = -1
ISPIN = 1
NELM = 50
ENCUT = 400.0
EDIFF = 1.E-06
ISMEAR = 0
SIGMA = 0.1
LREAL = .FALSE.
LCALCPOL=.TRUE.
PREC = Med
DIPOL = 0.25 0.25 0.25



Thanks!
