[CP2K-user] [CP2K:16748] Re: AIMD simulation best practices? TEMP_TOL keyword?

[Alex Brown]

Dear Marcella,

Thanks a lot for your response. 

I have one more confusion if you can help. I saw two TEMP_TOL keywords in 
metadynamics, the other one in the METADYN section. Do I need to specify 
the *TEMP_TOL* keyword in both *MD* and *METADYN* section to keep the 
temperature of the auxilary variables close to the real system or just 
specifying in *METADYN* section is fine. 

Thanks,
Alex
