Hi,

when i optimize the system, it reflects back with following error. what might be the error.

I can see time left =-1 in the output file.



Failed to converge in maximum number of steps or available time

dft optimize failed 0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This type of error is most commonly associated with calculations not reaching
convergence criteria



how to overcome this


Thanks
