Dear Peter or someone else who has a solution, where can I find the number of iterations that is printed in the case.scf, for example :ITE983:983. ITERATION
it seems this number is somewhere stored from previous scf cycles and then used when a calculation is retarted or continued (probably with other parameters) in some cases this is helpful, in others, e.g.: optimization, it is rather confusing I like to reset it during optimize, otherwise it will add the numbers up at each new volume (structure) and reaches after a while "unreal" numbers as in the example above. That is, I like to start always with iteration 1 for each new volume (structure) such that I can see directly how many scf cycles it took for each. Ciao Gerhard DEEP THOUGHT in D.
