[CP2K-user] [CP2K:13292] xTB_coulomb CPASSERT error

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

Hi

PBC require a careful treatment of long range Coulomb forces.
The Ewald method is the only method implemented in CP2K for
the xTB Hamiltonian to provide correct physics.

Subject: [CP2K:13292] xTB_coulomb CPASSERT error

Dear CP2K experts,
I am using the xTB method to optimize the cell parameters for an ice bulk and I encountered this problem:
The calculation runs only if I specify the DO_EWALD keyword in the input to replace the direct sum of Coulomb interactions.
Is there a particular explanation for that? Is it better (within the xTB framework) to calculate the electrostatics with the Ewald summation?
Thank you very much for your help!

Stefano
