these are the convergence of the self-consistent cycle and of structural optimization, respectively > [...] You should reach convergence with respect to the wf cutoff > before attempting to perform phonon calculations. this is the convergence with respect to the basis set. If you do not know the difference between all these convergences, you must learn it, before attempting any serious calculation P. --- Paolo Giannozzi, Dept of Chemistry&Physics&Environment, Univ.
