[CP2K-user] [CP2K:17112] Question about poisson solver in cp2k

Dear Alex,

the section is specifying which kind of solver to use for the Poisson
equation. PERIODIC XYZ and POISSON_SOLVER PERIODIC are the default values
and suitable if you are running calculations on periodic systems. Adding
the section thus not chances the result. You only have to change the
default if you are switching e.g. to 2D or molecular systems. Periodicity
in the CELL section needs to be specified in addition.

Best regards,

Anna
