[CP2K-user] [CP2K:19571] MOF optimization

Dear cp2k experts

Thank you for your help, Anton Lytvynenko.

Now, I simulated MOF cell under the default conditions.

But, SCF did not converged, and energy change was approximately 
-1.0E-07-1.0E06.

Also, under the suggested conditions (PRECONDITIONER FULL_SINGLE_INVERSE ; 
MAX_SCF 150 ; LINESEARCH GOLD), SCF did not converged, and energy change 
was approximately -1.0E06.

Could you advice me what I should modify in the input file? Should I change 
the cell structure and how do I modify it?


Many thanks,
K.AK
