yes, and it is stated in the documentation (where else?), but have you considered, that bad convergence is usually a sign of a bad input? e.g. overlapping atoms, bad pseudopotentials, bad choice of cutoffs, smearing etc. and that using more scf steps rarely fixes *that* kind of problem. forcing a calculation somehow to finish does not necessarily mean, that it is correct. but since you have eliminated most of the useful information from your input, it is impossible for anybody to make any kind of definite statement about that. axel. > > Than you in advance ......... > > -- Dr. Axel Kohlmeyer akohlmey at gmail.com http://goo.gl/1wk0 International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste.
