Hi

for a liquid the SR basis sets should work fine.
However, it is always a good idea to make tests.

regards

Subject: [CP2K:3821] short range basis sets

Dear all 
           I would like to run molecular dynamics of a  liquid system where i am more interested in the structure than  energetics. This system contains 825 atoms. When i run the system using  DZVP-MOLOPT-GTH basis set, it takes long time for single step. Keeping  in mind the resources we have, this calculation will run for  months  to  obtain at least 10 ps.
  
Since i am more interested in structure, can i use short range basis  sets (DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH) in-place of above ? Will this introduce any  errors in structure determination ? 

 please suggest few references where i can learn about SR basis set.
  
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Sandeep
