Stress Tensor forcing SCF Wavefunction Optimization

[Rafael Soler-Crespo]

Hi all, 

Just to clarify, what I refer is that the box updating the progress of the 
geometry optimization:

 --------  Informations at step =     1 ------------                       
     
  Optimization Method        =                 BFGS
  Total Energy               =      -495.6366242369
  Real energy change         =        -2.2642515093
  Predicted change in energy =        -2.7904990758
  Scaling factor             =         0.5267466124
  Step size                  =         0.4724315332
  Trust radius               =         0.4724315332
  Decrease in energy         =                  YES
  Used time                  =               95.726

  Convergence check :
  Max. step size             =         0.4724315332
  Conv. limit for step size  =         0.0030000000
  Convergence in step size   =                   NO
  RMS step size              =         0.1432565779
  Conv. limit for RMS step   =         0.0015000000
  Convergence in RMS step    =                   NO
  Max. gradient              =         0.0773821875
  Conv. limit for gradients  =         0.0004500000
  Conv. for gradients        =                   NO
  RMS gradient               =         0.0232460107
  Conv. limit for RMS grad.  =         0.0003000000
  Conv. for gradients        =                   NO
 ---------------------------------------------------

Is gone, and the program just keeps looping over the SCF wavefunctions. It 
could possibly be that the optimization algorithm changed (since I haven't 
specified it). Also, I can't find the stresses printed in the log file (or 
in a separate file if I specify it).

I checked if the algorithm had changed (say, from BFGS to CG) but it 
didn't. It's still BFGS for all my trial runs.

Thanks,
Rafael
