[CP2K:8181] cut-off convergence, what am I doing wrong?

[hut... at chem.uzh.ch]

Hi

be careful with other accuracy settings. For this testing 
EPS_DEFAULT should be sufficiently small (you have to test that).

regards

Subject: [CP2K:8181] cut-off convergence, what am I doing wrong?

Dear all

I am testing the cut-off convergence of a MOF, 500 atoms containing Zn, C, O and H.
I used  BASIS_SET DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH and POTENTIAL GTH-PBE
I run some script testing both CUTOFF and REL_CUTOFF (script attached)

Analysing the results I found something which I don't understand and I guess it's is wrong.

For instance REL_CUTOFF fixed to 40 and scanning CUTOFF from 300 to 600, the energy instead of going down, it increases (namely become less negative).

fixing CUTOFF to and scanning REL_CUTOFF from 40 to 60, the energy oscillates

This is always the case meaning there is some systematic error in my protocol :-S

any suggestion?
