<div dir="ltr">Hi Rustam<br><br>in the first place I would suggest to use a compatible pair of basis set and potential for Mg. The Mg TZV2P-GTH basis set was generated for a Mg GTH-*-q10, but a GTH-BLYP-q2 is employed. Unfortunately, the GTH_BASIS_SET file provides only generic labels. I will fix that. Please, run the case with a valid combinations of potential and basis set and report if the error persists. Note, that the Mg q10 potential requires a very large cutoff and for the Mg q2 potential there is only a DZVP basis set available in the file BASIS_SET.<br><br>Best regards<br><br>Matthias<br><br>PS: The basis sets in GTH_BASIS_SETS are usually not well suited for (dense) solid state systems as they have been generated mainly for molecular systems.<br><br>On Saturday, 13 August 2016 07:56:39 UTC+2, Rustam wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi guys,<div><br></div><div>As Amandine Chouanard mentioned in a <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cp2k/mwieBkpEjns" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">recent post </a>the conserved quantity shows discontinuities when a flexible cell MD simulation is restarted.
