<div>Hello both of you!<br></div><div><br></div><div>As a newbie, I definitely would rather get told off in the general direction of an answer than receive no answer. I think I understand a lot of the how now (as in how to do task X in CP2K by following a tutorial) but the things like why each parameter is selected is a bit trickier. I know these are not trivial topics that can be answered quickly, but when picking up the software as the first person in the lab to do so with limited local resources, alternatives are not plentiful. as it stands, the best option I have found is to look up a random ab initio paper and go to their method section, hoping to see what parameters they used for a few variable and why. While the CP2K community is not responsible for any of this, there has to be a better way.</div><div><br></div><div>With best wishes,</div><div>-Eric <br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">On Thursday, May 12, 2022 at 6:41:48 AM UTC-5 anton.s.l...@gmail.com wrote:<br/></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Hi Mozhdeh,

<br>
<br>Indeed, it's infamous.
<br>
<br>The problem is that everybody tries to answer within her or his
<br>expertise and ability, it is not a paid work (unfortunately). The scope
<br>of CP2K methods and applications is extremely broad, and a single person
<br>could not even try to be an expert in all of them. Answering any
<br>question implies the person(s) in charge, who is obligued to deal with
<br>the questions.
<br>
<br>Regarding the newbies questions, I think that solid introductory courses
<br>in at least some aspects of CP2K usage will be more beneficial. Again,
<br>it's a question of time and efforts, and of the broad scope of CP2K.
<br>Let's do more of them?
<br>
<br>Yours,
<br>
<br>Anton
