Dear Valerie, <br>
<br>
you may try a smaller EPS_DEFAULT value like 1.0E-12 or even
1.0E-14. You may also switch off the smearing, if your systems shows
a decent band gap. I would guess a cutoff of about 400 Ry should be
sufficiently accurate.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all, <br>
<br>
I would like to run a geometry optimization of a single molecule
with Quickstep but got stuck at the first step; i.e. get
meaningful values of cutoff and relative cutoffs. <br>
I followed this tutorial:
<a href="http://www.cp2k.org/howto:converging_cutoff" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.cp2k.org/howto:<u></u>conv<u></u><u></u>erging_cutoff</a> but the total energy
does not converge to great accuracy with my system:<br>
<br>
# Grid cutoff vs total energy<br>
# REL_CUTOFF = 100<br>
# Cutoff (Ry) | Total Energy (Ha) | NG on grid 1 | NG on grid 2
| NG on grid 3 | NG on grid 4<br>
50.00 -68.6591152269 51340 490 0 0<br>

600.00 -71.4043430530 32450 12381 6209 790<br>
<br>
I was wondering if there was something I could try to fix this
or should I carry on with Cutoff = 400?<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
Valerie<br>
