Hi all,
I'm trying to do a pspw optimisation on my system, but it doesn't converge. When I did this with nosymm, it converged easily. Whenever I turned on the symmetry, it ended until the max. iteration number even I run it for a couple of days on parallel. I read many hints for dft optimisation problems, but I haven't seen any for pspw optimize.
I also wonder how much the simulation box size and cutoff are important when doing a pspw calculation. I'm sorry if this question sounds weird, but I'm totally new to Nwchem.
I'm sending my input. Any advice will be appreciated.
