[CP2K-user] [CP2K:17660] Re: CP2K Cell Boundary Coordinates

[Dev Kumar]

HI Matt, 

Thanks for your reply. I attached the POSCAR. I am new to cp2k and I 
assumed that cp2k is taking the angles of the box 90 degrees and cubic. 
This is just my lack of knowledge. This is cubic fcc cell, I can 
give ALPHA_BETA_GAMMA 90.00000000 90.00000000  90.00000000   SYMMETRY CUBIC 
inside cell. I will try that out. Although I will still need to make sure 
cp2k taking all the atoms inside the boundary. I may need to leave some 
vacuum sometimes, so I should be able to manipulate the box size. Please 
let me know you comments. 

When I look at the output position file it does look like its printing out 
from the initial position I started with, but becomes mushy after few steps 
of geometry optimization.
