[CP2K:7053] Re: how to choose the frequency at which stress is calculated

[Luis Ruiz Pestana]

Thanks Matt.

It would definitely be useful to implement a way in cp2k to calculate
stresses when using metaGGA's (either through the analytical calculation or
indirectly through the REFTRAJ ensemble using the numerical stress
calculation). Let me know if you get it done any time soon, it would be a
life saver!

I really like cp2k and I highly recommend it to other users but in the
current state I might be forced to change software to simulate systems with
mGGA's.

Best,
Luis
