Using Internal Coordinates to Optimize Structures with DFT?

[Vladimir Rybkin]

Dear Arman,

unfortunately, geometry optimization in internal coordinates is not 
implemented in CP2K. 

How large are the oscillations? If they are small, you might as well relax 
the optimization convergence criteria.

Yours,

Vladimir
