Dear all,

I have used the atom pseudo generator to create a relativistic vdW
pseudopotential (vwr) for Pt. When running a lattice constant optimization
calculation I get the following warning:

Vna:  Cut-off radius for the neutral-atom potential:   8.743299
Vna: WARNING: Cut-off radius for the neutral-atom potential, rVna =     8.74330
Vna: WARNING: Cut-off radius for charge density =     4.91988
Vna: WARNING: Check atom: Look for the sentence:
Vna: WARNING: LOCAL NEUTRAL-ATOM PSEUDOPOTENTIAL
Vna: WARNING: Increasing the tolerance parameter EPS
Vna: WARNING: might be a good idea

Can anyone help me with the meaning? And where should I find this tolerance
parameter EPS?

Furthermore I get an optimized lattice constant about 5% larger than the
experimental value. Could this be a problem of the pseudopotential, or is it a
problem of the vdW functional?

Kind regards,

Mie
