[CP2K-user] [CP2K:20985] ENERGY_FORCE calculation not converging on same ENERGY runs

Dear Jürg,

Thanks for the response and sorry for the ambiguity. The 4 energies are 
from four different frames. 
The problem is that, for the first frame on the right panel (with 
ENERGY_FORCE), the same condition gives a non-convergence and wrong energy, 
where only running ENERGY gives a converged result.
The EPS convergence threshold does not concern me for now.

Regards,
Hezhou
