[CP2K-user] [CP2K:20980] ENERGY_FORCE calculation not converging on same ENERGY runs

[Jürg Hutter]

Hi

you are restarting both calculations. From the initial energy it seems for energy_force this was
not optimal. However, this would not lead to different results if your EPS_SCF would be smaller.
With the value you chose 10^-5 SCF stops rather early and energy is only correct to about 5 digits.

regards
JH

Subject: [CP2K:20978] ENERGY_FORCE calculation not converging on same ENERGY runs

Dear CP2K community,

I'm benchmarking a UKS calculation on a small system. By only changing GLOBAL RUNTYPE from ENERGY to ENERGY_FORCE and printing FORCE in FORCE_EVAL, the calculations that successfully converged on ENERGY calculations failed to converge in ENERGY_FORCE, and gave a drastically wrong energy. This occurred in versions 7.1 and 2023.2 seemingly randomly, but I haven't tried others. Any idea why this is happening? Thank you all!

Regards,
Hezhou
