<p>Thank you very much for your reply! Recently, I
calculated the structure of excited states for my system. Because of the large
system, I used the PBE functional instead of the hybrid functional. But I found
excited stated forces reach the maximun number of iterations, did't converge. I
want to konw how to increase the  the
maximun number of iterations (default : 100)? </p>
