recentering option for isolated system calculations

Axel,

I am struggling with a large isolated system and I am using the MT
poisson solver. Maybe I should try the wavelet based PS. Could you
please let me know how to set up the section and if there are any
caveats? (Teo mentioned that and I forgot the syntax) Do we have to
have
a vaccum of 20% for the wavelet method or is it only for the MT
scheme?

Thanks
Rad
