Dear all,
I'm a beginner in ATK, and inspired by a paper in which a Fullerene C60 was simulated with EHT in ATK, I decided to try doing the same. I placed a C60 Fullerene molecule in between two atomistic contacts and I added a gate (metallic region) with a dielectric. Then I set up a semi-empirical EHT calculation with SCF loop (I left many options as default).
The left and right electrode calculations converged succesfully but at the begginning of the device calculations the execution ended suddenly with this error:
NameError: name 'NeutralAtom' is not defined
I tried to change the Initial Density to EquivalentBulk and also to change the length but I got always the same error.

I attach the .log file and here I report the full error message:
