[CP2K-user] [CP2K:11092] convergence of forces in the dynamical QM region as a function of buffer region

[Noam Bernstein]

Sorry, wrong print section:  as the documentation of the &FORCE_MIXING
subsection says, the &MOTION&PRINT&FORCE_MIXING_LABELS produces output that
indicates which atom is in which region.  The values are numeric, but I'd
have to look at the source code again to figure out what number corresponds
to what region.
