Dear Siesta Users,

I would like to perform a geometry optimization on a gold cluster
system I have but I'm not sure if the parameters that are set in my
.fdf file are correct.

Also, how would I determine if my system converged? When the runs
usually finish and I visualize my system it shows distorted geometry
(it takes all the symmetry away from the system).

The reason I'm performing a geometry optimization is to use my
optimized structure for a molecular dynamic simulation at finite
temperatures.

Thank you for your help. Attached is a sample of the .fdf file

Cordially,

Svetlana Gelpi
