Hi, I think it would be helpful and appreciated to keep scf with tetrahedron method, at least to make accurate SCF calculations. It would also be fine if the program just don't calculate the forces when the tetrahedron methos is chosen, and give a warning for the beginners "forces are not variati

Hi everyone, according to changelog-4.2, the tetrahedron method was forbidden to be used for scf at *2010-03-25.* What is the reason? Probably, the best person to answer the question is Prof. Gianozzi. -- Best regards, Max Popov Ph.D. student Materials center Leoben (MCL), Leoben, Austria. -
