Dear all, Why the geometry optimization is not able to get convergence( Pls see attached SCF file)? The force on the atoms are always so big, but the energy, lattice parameters have reached the convergence request. I tried to adjust the DM.MixingWeight,DM.NumberPulay,MaxSCFIterations etc, but the stress on the system is still not improved. Additionally, I think the psodopotential and basis set and the crystal structure are no problem. Thank u very very much!! K.P. Wang
