[CP2K-user] [CP2K:19211] Re: Total force calculated by cp2k is not zero

[Marcella Iannuzzi]

Dear Junbo, 

If the error is small, it is most probably associated to the use of finite 
grids and atom-cantered basis functions.
Increasing the density of grid points and using smoothening procedures 
should improve the accuracy. 
Regards
Marcella
