For *** *** more information see FAQ: https://www.cp2k.org/faq:hfx_eps_warning *** Dear all, I'm desperately trying to implement B3LYP on my system and to run a geometry optimisation. The calculations take horribly long (over two weeks) and still haven't finished. My error file is empty, however I seem to get the above two warnings, no matter what I do. With respect to the first truncated potential warning, I'm using this truncated potential, because I have received an earlier warning telling me to use it and read about it on the cp2k/groups website. I'm using a cutoff of 15.0 angstrom with a box size of 30.0, which should be exactly half and fine. I'm uncertain whether I should just ignore it, because of the responses given in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/cp2k/The$20cutoff$20***$20$20***$20radius$20is$20larger$20than$20half$20the$20minimal$20cell$20dimension.$20This$20may$20lead$20$20***$20$20***$20to$20unphysical$20total$20energies.$20Reduce$20the$20cutoff$20radius$20in$20order$20to$20$20$20$20***$20$20***$20avoid$20possible$20problems.$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20$20%7Csort:relevance/cp2k/g1sFck3SYF8/pVS-MPF-GQAJ. If I can ignore it, I reckon I should be using smaller auxiliary basis sets, as in cFIT types, rather than DZVP ones. Would that give me the same result? Additionally, I have already changed all my admms to shorter range basis sets to reduce the BSSE. Regarding the second warning, I have already lowered the EPS Default from 1.0E-10 to 1.0E-12, but I'm still getting the same error. Also changing the poisson solver to WAVELET for my cubic 30x30x30 box would still give me the KS matrix as not 100 % occupied. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/cp2k/hfx_energy_potential%7Csort:relevance/cp2k/Xog7jpV5eRk/o254NK-8NGwJ Any experience or help will be appreciated.
