[CP2K-user] [CP2K:22079] DFTD3 scaling - possible bug

Hi

the situation is a bit different in this case. CP2K takes always the parameters defined in the input (even if they are 0).
If no explicit input is given, it takes method dependent default values.

Automatic parameter determination is triggered by 'no values given in the input' and not 0 values.

regards
JH

Dear,

According to the manual, the D3_SCALING is 0 by default, which will make cp2k determine s6,sr6,s8 automatically. However, if you do specify this parameter as D3_SCALING     0.0000000000000000E+00    0.0000000000000000E+00    0.0000000000000000E+00, zeroes are taken for all coefficients.

With kind regards,

Bram
