[CP2K-user] [CP2K:15715] PRESSURE TOLERANCE problems when doing cell opt with strain on 2D slab

[Dragon Don]

Dear Thomas Kühne

  I really appreciate your timely help. It's glad to know that the pressure 
deviation is not that far off but why, I thought 1300 bar（=13 MPa）is quite 
huge.
  Indeed, I have tested another 400 optimization steps, but the pressure 
deviation changes slightly, just fluctuating around 1300 bar.
  It's strange that such convergence issue only happens when the strain is 
loaded along the y axis (My cell is oblique hexagon as shown below). 
  And the larger the y strain, the further the pressure deviation reaches, 
even up to 3000 bar for twice the y strain. 
  In contrast, the pressure deviation can easily converge to 100 bar for x 
strain loading. The only difference is there are three cell parameters
  (a,b,γ) that should be settled in y strain loading, while only b and γ 
need to be calculated for x strain loading. So, Thomas, what can I do to 
address this issue. 
  Looking forward to your advice!
