[CP2K-user] Trying to understand the output from neb(band) module

I was playing with the neb tutorial at 
https://www.cp2k.org/exercises:2016_uzh_cmest:path_optimization_neb  and 
was using all input files from this site.

 

After the second band step, the separate band output gave the following 
convergence check:

*******************************************************************************

 RMS DISPLACEMENT =   0.01661     [ 0.00010]                               
( NO)

 MAX DISPLACEMENT =   0.04582     [ 0.00020]                               
( NO)

 RMS FORCE        =   0.00459     [ 0.00500]                               
(YES)

 MAX FORCE        =   0.02442     [ 0.00100]                               
( NO)

 *******************************************************************************

 

*The screen output has the following energies and force values.  What is 
odd that the max force of all these images is not 0.02442.  Actually there 
is no force that is close to be +-0.0244.  I am wondering what is this “MAX 
FORCE”. Thanks.*
