<p>Hi Lucas</p>
<p>The forces are zero because of symmetry (the 1E-13 Ha is noise).
You should check the pressure (stress tensor) instead.
Alternatively, you can perform a volume optimization and check the
convergence of the lattice parameter wrt. k-point grid.</p>

<div>I am trying to analyze k-points convergence for a Au bulk,
but I am facing a problem: the atomic forces are too small.
They are of the order of 1E-13 Ha. Then, when I try to compute
the atomic forces between two consecutive grids, they are of
the order of 1E-14 Ha, much lower than the threshold I
use, 4.5E-4 Ha (the default maximum atomic force used in cp2k
geometry optimization). So basically it means that the results
will be the same no matter the k-point mesh I choose, from a
1x1x1 to a 15x15x15 mesh. Can somebody help me to solve this
problem? Attached are one of the inputs that I have used and
the corresponding output.</div>
