Re: [Wien] [Warning message: Sum of forces not small, possible numerical issues]

Dear Prof. Marks and Peter,

Sorry for the delay in reply.

I followed your suggestions and did a simple scf.

Now I see forces are less than 5mRyd/au or negative on most of the atoms
except on three "H" atom in CH3NH3PbI3 structure where I am getting ~12
mRyd/au.

 I am mentioning :. FOR013 for atom number 13 along with fcheck

So, I have some further queries:

(1) I should not to force minimization (MSR1a/ -min/min_lapw) and only -fc
2 may be okay with proper convergence parameters. Please correct me if I am
wrong.

(2) As I am using TEMPS so I am not able to grep :GAP.  How to grep :GAP?

(3) I tested some scfs for the present case and scf with -fc xx -it
switches is faster (in my case speed is double) than simple scf (-ec xx -cc
yy). Why?

(4) May I just set the proper convergence parameters in scf dir already
having conversed structure with crude convergence parameters (ec 0.1 -cc
0.1 -fc 10 -it) and start scf?


Kind regards

Bhamu

My opinion.

Use *TEMPS* not *TEMP*. It won't matter much but I consider it more
rigorous. I normally use TEMPS  0.0018 which is room temperature. (I have
rarely seen large values help, I think that is a relic of old mixers.)

:FCHECK can be positive or negative, that does not matter. It should become
small as the forces and charge density converges. (Of course using a
centro-symmetric structure is better if possible.)

Re: [Wien] [Warning message: Sum of forces not small, possible numerical issues]

2018-04-06 Thread Dr. K. C. Bhamu
Thanks Prof. Peter,

There are some more queries.

For the present system, ~3-3.5 is best-reported rmt.  Prof. Oleg reported
3.5 in his Sci. Rep. paper while in one of my earlier case I used 3 which
was fine to me. So I kept rmt 3 in the present case.

Yes, I  am using 16 core here.

The strategy told by Prof. Lawrence is similar to yours. So definitely, I
will run a crude convergence before structure optimization (after getting
the final conclusion from present scf).

What should I do if :FCHECK are negative? can it be or I should worry? I
see :FCHECK is oscillating (see below).

 In all test case of the present calculation, should increase LVNS from 4
to 6 in case.in1(c)? or in final. I never tested it so do not know how it
will affect the calculation.



*Can I use TEMP 0.002 instead of TETRA?*
If I am not wrong, them in case of MSR1a the :FOR will work after final scf!

I suggest -ec 0.1 -fc 10 -cc 0.1 similar to what Peter sent.

N.B., I believe he had a typo, and meant

"Start with an RKmax 0f 2.5 or 2.75 instead of 3 (check later)"

Okay, I will give a try to this approach also.

 -ec 0.001 and -fc 5 is enough for the first scf run the MSR1?

Re: [Wien] [Warning message: Sum of forces not small, possible numerical issues]

2018-04-06 Thread Peter Blaha

To be efficient you should:

Start with an RKmax 0f 2.5 or 3.75 instead of 3 (check later)

Reduce k-points to 2x2x1 (check later).

run -it -p  -fc 10   # crude convergence before structure optimization !
 # -p because you want to use the 16 cores. You 
have to define a suitable .machines file ! Are you sure you are using 
more than 1 core right now ???


Once this is converged, check forces (are they so big that you need to 
relax ? and :FCHECK. If :FCHECK is still large at the end, probalby your 
spheres are not ok. And in addition you should increase LVNS from 4 to 6 
in case.in1(c).


save, and only then start a run -p -it -min

It is more common to somewhat converge using MSR1 first, e.g. -cc 0.1,
before switching to MSR1a. However, I don't see and clear indication that
something is wrong in your output. A large value of :FCHECK is not unusual
in the early stages.

Re: [Wien] [Warning message: Sum of forces not small, possible numerical issues]

2018-04-06 Thread Dr. K. C. Bhamu
 Thank you Prof. Lyudmila for the inlined reply.

I shall mention the optimization process: I am using  run_lapw 
-it -min to relax the structure with TETRA (default), rmt 3, kpt 50
(4x4x2), PBE. Organometallic system (Hybrideperovskite).

I am not sure whether my scf is going well or not because I do not see any
such message.
My main concern is about too much time (~40 minutes on 16 core) for one scf
cycle and this warning.


Could you please have a look at my further queries:

I do not find anything in scf with this statment or part of this statment.
Also, as per my excersie, nothing is mentioned in mailing list for such
warnings.

:ADIST represents the distance between atoms (Pg number 212 UG). Atom 18
and 32 are H.  in the 12th Cycle :FGL is positive for both and is around
~40mRyd/au.

results from :FGL and hence from :FCHECK is varying. In first cycle the
total forces from :FCHECK was very small and in the 8th Cycle total forces
are too high. The average totla force on each atom is


results from FCHECk and FR are below (in 12th scf cycle):

I'd look attentively around this place in the scf.

:WARN : QTL-B value eq.   2.79 in Band of energy  -0.76594  ATOM=    7  
this is not much, and can easily disappear at the following cycles. Only 
if it become more than 5 at final iterations of the scf cycle I would worry,


:WARN : You should change the E-parameter for this atom and L-value in 
case.in1 (or try the -in1new

Only in the above mentioned case.


:ENE  : *WARNING** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =  -141317.23075973

This is a consequence of the former warnings, no other importance.

... :DIS  :  CHARGE DISTANCE   (  0.238821 for atom   15 spin 1)   
0.107937

:DIS's look good.


below is constructive output from six scf cycles:
All looks good, though I do not know what is :ADIST. Something connected 
with MSR1a option.

:ADIST   Largest Distance  1.71E+02 mau for atom  18
:ADIST   Largest Distance  1.67E+02 mau for atom  32
:ADIST   Largest Distance  1.20E+02 mau for atom  32
:ADIST   Largest Distance  5.87E+01 mau for atom  32


Too large forces appear and movement of the atoms becomes too large.

    TOTAL FORCE WITH RESPECT TO THE GLOBAL COORDINATE SYSTEM:
:FGL018:  18.ATOM  -228.797027515  -110.869626478   


I think that mixer is very clever program, so this possibility is taken 
into account, and it wiil correctly treat this data.


So, the program warns you to look after the movement of the atoms with 
attention to atom 18 and 32.
