[CP2K-user] [CP2K:17789] Re: abrupt termination of the cp2k md simulation with xtb

[mdsimula...@gmail.com]

HI Alexandra,

Have you considered trying DFTB+ (https://dftbplus.org/) ?  It has the xTB 
Hamiltonians and they have precompiled binaries which are super easy to use.

I've used it a few times for some periodic calculations and it works nicely.

 Cheers!
Frank
