[CP2K-user] [CP2K:22350] WAVELET Poisson solver not implemented for XY periodicity in CP2K 2026.1

[Fabian Ducry]

Dear Marco,

in the 2026.2 version xy periodicity is implemented for the wavelet solver. Alternatively, you can rotate the coordinates and use periodicity xz with version 2026.1

Cheers,
Fabian
