About the voltage sweep script(ivcurves.py)

(1/2) > >>

gny1988:
I used the script from http://quantumwise.com/forum/index.php?topic=19.0 to calculate current under a series of voltages. As it said, I put the file ivcurve.py to C:\Program Files\QuantumWise\Virtual NanoLab 2008.10.0\atk\lib\site-packages. But when I calculate current by vnl-2008.10, it said:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:/docume~1/admini~1/locals~1/temp/tmplq3kcg.nl", line 439, in ?
    ivcurve.runIVcurve (
NameError: name 'ivcurve' is not defined
Terminated Abnormally

Could you help me?

Anders Blom:
Although in general I wouldn't recommend running such a time-consuming calculation from within VNL (I would export the script, and run it from the command line, ideally on Linux, and in parallel! :) ), your problem should be easy to solve.

(Changing my previous reply...)

My suspicion is you have left out the line "import ivcurve", or else it would complain that it cannot find this module, but it cannot find the name "ivcurve", which means it was never imported.

gny1988:
Thank you. That's the problem.

Another error. Please help me.
