[CP2K-user] [CP2K:19125] Re: Fixed atoms in geometry optimization

[Dune André]

Thanks Fabian for your answer. 

Another question related to this topic is the following: How does the 
information of the fixed atoms appears in the output file? 
Reading the list of atoms in the .out file, I did not find the info of 
whether atoms were fixed or not.

Regards,

Dune
