Hi, all

 

I have question about the variable MeshCutoff used in Siesta. I know if I 
increase the MeshCutoff higher, the results will be more accurate.

 

I am doing a geometry optimization of a given system, sometimes the total 
energy increase a little (about 0.2 ~ 0.3 eV) when I increase the MeshCutoff, 
and the optimization is well converged (0.01 eV/Ang). So, in that situation, 
How could I choose a reasonable value for the total energy of the system? And 
How could I choose the optimized geometry (the one with lower energy or the one 
with higher MeshCutoff, which are all well converged)?

 

Any comment or suggestion is appreciated.

Best
