Dear Prof Victor My problem is to calculate the band gap at optimized lattice constant using SCAN functional. > May I suggest you to elaborate a 2D grid or even a multidimensional grid... I'll try first to perform geometry optimization for different rmt's,ifft factors in addition to different rkmax and k-points.(correct me if i was wrong in interpreting your suggestion). Thanks Sandeep
if that is required and examine your main property in the nodes of the grid?

May I suggest you to elaborate a 2D grid or even a multidimensional grid if that is required and examine your main property in the nodes of the grid? For instance the distance variable provides a relevant range from 4.5 to 6.0, the RK grid range from 7 to 10, maybe, and so on. That would be my way of exploring your problem, if I was able to explain my idea. Thanks, Víctor Luaña -- . .
