Thank you for your answer.
However, I think I didn't ask clearly.
When I said 'cut-off', it means the value of the convergence.

<convergence_check>default</convergence_check>
<convergence_check_options>
    <limit>0.001</limit>                          <======== This value!
    <name_glob>*.conv</name_glob>
</convergence_check_options> 

I want to know how small the limit should be to obtain reasonable rdf. 
And the first question is also about the calculation of that convergence 
value.
Thank you.

Soree Kim.
