cutoff might be too small for a reliable computation of the stress.

other than that I see no big issue in your input

Hi,
When optimizing the lattice constant of bcc Fe,the result is a=2.830A, which is in disagreement with experimentally derived structural parameter a=2.863A.Could someone give me some advice?
