Dear Oscar, the input file looks good to me. And as far as I know, 1 atom for fcc is ok. You overspecified the k-grid. You either use k_grid cutoff or monkhorst pack. With Variable Cell you choose to let Siesta relax the system. Otherwise you could try and set NumCGSteps to 0 and vary lattice

Hi Oscar, in your input file you specified that number of atoms is 1. You must put more atoms if you want any realistic estimate of lattice parameter. For example 64 seems fine. Also you set MeshCutoff to 350 Ry, I think it is probably too much. You can work with smaller value and it is comput

I want to calculate the lattice parameter for Pd, I obtain the next result after I optimize the cell: outcell: Cell vector modules (Ang) :2.687006 2.6870062.687006 outcell: Cell angles (23,13,12) (deg): 60. 60. 60. outcell: Cell volume (Ang**3): 13.
