<br>I assume your system is weakly bound in z-direction. Small force
<br>changes in that direction can cause large changes.
<br>The only obvious problem I could spot is the definition of the
<br>reference cell. In order to minimize the effect of a change in 
<br>volume, the reference cell should be larger than the initial
<br>and final cell. I would set c=10 or 12 and I would also increase
<br>the cutoff.
<br>You could test this by just scan the energy as function of c and
<br>correctly adapt the geometry of course.

<br>Subject: [CP2K:13056] COF cell optimize exploded
<br>
<br>   
<br>  Hello all,
<br>  I need some help about the covalent-organic frameworks (COF) 2D sheet cell optimize. After I optimized the COF with a 2X2X2 supercell, the cell size was totally exploded. I had kept the cell vectors and symmetry constant, changed different basis sets and different XC functions but the cell exploded anyway. 
<br>  I had tried basis sets DZVP-MOLOPT-GTH and DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH with PADE, PBE and BLYP. And the DFTD3 correction was also add to each calculation. The GAPW method I also had tried, but none of them worked. 
<br>   
<br>  Any suggestion is welcome, thanks!
<br>  Linfeng
<br>   
<br>  The COF-5-2X2X2 supercell vectors should be:
<br>  CELL_TOP| Volume [angstrom^3]:                                        21253.270
<br>   CELL_TOP| Vector a [angstrom    60.040     0.000     0.000    |a| =      60.040
<br>   CELL_TOP| Vector b [angstrom   -30.020    51.996     0.000    |b| =      60.040
<br>   CELL_TOP| Vector c [angstrom     0.000     0.000     6.808    |c| =       6.808
<br>   CELL_TOP| Angle (b,c), alpha [degree]:                                   90.000
<br>   CELL_TOP| Angle (a,c), beta  [degree]:                                   90.000
<br>   CELL_TOP| Angle (a,b), gamma [degree]:                                  120.000
<br>   
<br>  But after cell optimized calculation the output cell vectors are:
<br>  *******************************************************************************
<br>   ***                    GEOMETRY OPTIMIZATION COMPLETED                      ***
<br>   *******************************************************************************
<br>   
<br>                      Reevaluating energy at the minimum
<br>   
<br>   CELL| Volume [angstrom^3]:                                            25653.623
<br>   CELL| Vector a [angstrom]:      60.345     0.000     0.000    |a| =      60.345
<br>   CELL| Vector b [angstrom]:     -30.173    52.260     0.000    |b| =      60.345
<br>   CELL| Vector c [angstrom]:       0.000    -0.000     8.135    |c| =       8.135
<br>   CELL| Angle (b,c), alpha [degree]:                                       90.000
<br>   CELL| Angle (a,c), beta  [degree]:                                       90.000
<br>   CELL| Angle (a,b), gamma [degree]:                                      120.000
