Dear yoshi,
I can not understand OccupationFunction  MP and FD,this option is not in the 
manual,is it useful to use it in the transiesta *.fdf input?
Bye the way I have a Au(111) electrode-3*3*4.
It is not enought?
Thanks !

About this problem, 

You can include more electrode structures in scattering region. This 
should increase the convergence. 
There are two way to perform scf: 
OccupationFunction      MP 
or the default 
OccupationFunction      FD 

if you use the MP, you can use high temperatures, like 600-700. But beware 
about the temperature at FD option. 

regards.
