Dear:

I want to relax the chain with Siesta.
but different atom position with same parameter will get different
structure.
for example, I set the distance between chain to 2.93 A and get a final
structure of 2.569 A between chain.
Then I change initial chain distance to 2.88 A and get a final structure of
2.758 A between chain.

why this happened?

Thanks for reading my mail and it is welcome to discuss with me.

below's are my fdf input file.
