[CP2K-user] [CP2K:10486] barostat problem NPT

[Thomas Kühne]

Dear Simin, 

due to the fact that the fluctuations are proportional to the square root of the number of 
particles your pressure as a function of time seems to me very reasonable. I hence, 
would only suggest to substantially reduce the timecon to a much lower value, e.g. 
50 - 100fs. Also, please keep in mind that the region in the thermostat section is by 
default global, which to the best of my knowledge, only couples to 3 degrees of freedom 
of the whole system! So better use massive to equilibrate your system. 

Best, 
Thomas
