Dear users,

I ran my GEO_OPT input file using TACC, but the SCF failed to converge.

I was using DIIS minimizer, but SD minimizer is used for some of the runs 
and convergence is remaining constant.

I used the same input file, but changed values for MAX_FORCE and CUTOFF.

Can anyone give me a suggestion as to why the run is not converging?
 
Thank you.
