Hi Marcos.

You can use the old density (startingpot='file' in electrons) but not the wavefunctions.

If I understand well you are asking whether there is a way to read the wavefunctions only for those k-point which were in the first and in the new computations. This option is not implemented and I am not sure that it would make you save a significant amount of time.

Just to ask, but if it is a slab, supposing it is perpendicular to the z axis,  why are you using 3 and 6  points in that direction  shouldn't one point be sufficient ?

Hi all,

I am performing a calculation for a 129-atom system including Fe, which demands rather large values of ecutwfc and ecutrho with respect to other elements present (Cu and N). I have performed a spin-polarized scf calculation for my slab using a 5x5x3 Monkhorst-Pack grid, and now I'd like to re-run the calculation with a denser k-point mesh (say, 8x8x6).

The thing is, it would be good to use the charge density and wavefunctions from the previous calculation as input to the new calculations, in order to save time. However, since the wavefunctions are written for the different k-points used in the particular calculation (assuming that the default value of wf_collect=.true.), how could I restart the calculation with a denser k-mesh using as much data as possible from the previous calculation?

Sorry if this is a too basic question, but I have searched the documentation and could not find it. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Marcos
