Hi all,<div><br></div><div>As I'm still struggling with converging the plane wave cutoff, I tried this CP2K exercise for converging the cutoff for a water system (the link is https://www.cp2k.org/events:2018_summer_school:converging_cutoff ). This system has 32 H2O, using PBE functional (no XC smoothing) and MOLOPT-SR basis. REL_CUTOFF is 60 Ry.</div><div><br></div><div>I ran this exercise, and extended the cutoff to 2000Ry, yet I'm not sure at which cutoff either the energy or force is converged. I attached the result below. <img alt="Screenshot from 2022-12-19 00-01-47.png" data-iml="412716.09999999776" width="572px" height="144.607px" src="cid:a9912a3f-1112-4fb3-9cf3-da65bef3f632"></div><div>I do notice that the most coarse grid (#4) has the most grid levels starting from 800 Ry. I guess that means the cutoff is probably already too high, and that might be related to a slow convergence. Yet I'm not sure how to improve that, nor further explain this behavior for this simple system.</div><div>I really appreciate any explanations and helps.</div><div><br></div><div>Zhuoran</div>
