Dear Julien, Your system has 96 atoms, so indeed the Hubbard forces (and stress) calculations with "ortho-atomic" Hubbard projectors are expected to be very slow. Switching to "atomic" will make it much faster. However, the value of U and/or V changes when you change the projectors, and the results might also change substantially when you change the projectors.

I did not encounter any particular issue while tuning the V value using the generalized Koopman’s condition. However, when trying to compute forces with DFT+V, the calculations appear to be very slow: on a 36 minute run, 28 were spent on the force_hub routine. Is this supposed to happen? This seems odd, and I suspect I might be doing something wrong. Other calculations run smoothly, it is only the forces that seem to slow everything down I included the input and output files for an example calculation, as well as the slurm file used to control the parallelization parameters. Thanks in advance, Julien
